There’s not much left after adding everything after linuxmemes!
So… just subscribe to the ones you like and only browse Subscribed. Probably easier to do a whitelist than a blacklist since apparently you hate 80% of the content here.
Should probably be calling it “Allow List” and “Block/Deny List”. They’re more appropriate terms.
These aren’t even racial terms, they were used for unionized vs. ununionized workers. Maybe we should be working on not calling people by color names. Not being able to use colors to describe things in the world because it is racially-adjacent is getting a bit difficult
That’s actually not true at all.
The word relates to “Labor relations” by which it means the 17th century where there was widespread slavery of overwhelmingly black people by white colonists.
Blacklist referred to people who are untrustworthy, suspicious, to be excluded or avoided.
And white being good and trustworthy.
The term “blacklist” contains the word “black”, which can unintentionally reinforce negative racial stereotypes. Associating “black” with something undesirable or harmful can inadvertently perpetuate harmful biases and contribute to systematic racism.
While the term “whitelist” may not appear as directly problematic, it reinforces a hierarchy with “white” as the preferred or privileged category. Such implications can subtly influence our thinking and conserve racial biases.
And that’s not too mention: Blackmail Black sheep Black Market
So no, its not that you can’t call something by it’s colour. But associating something bad with black and white with good harmful.
