No more "black", "white", or "grey". No more "black hat". It is "unethical hat". You shall be included. Resistance is futile.

First, blacklist never had anything to do with the sense implied today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackl...ns_of_the_term
And second, we stopped using "black" to describe ethnicity decades ago, the association is clearly forced today.
This is Y2K craze again: so much energy spent to fix a small, localized problem.

I support substituting master and slave. The rest are... well, I won't say because my opinion would be disrespectful to those who came up with those ideas.

"man" and "he" is already genderless. E.g. "mankind". So the hypothetical woman would also protest unnecessarily.
The attempt here is to create word-think. I.e. teaching people to focus on the letters of the word, how it sounds, and whether they like it or not, instead of the substance (and semantics) of the word. It limits the range of human thought. "Orthodoxy is unconsciousness."Last edited by krOoze; 16 August 2020, 07:48 PM.

> banned blacklist
it's a nice beginning but pls, could you address the elephant in the room?
The term OFFICE is mega Raycis! It clearly targets the WASP America that has nice 9-5 office jobs, while discriminate the Black and Latino menoreties who actually do the hard work in the street 🙏!
You should change it to something like LibreWORKPLACE or LibrePRODUCTIONSITE

I don't think blacklist offends anyone, so I don't think it's a problem, but equally I find it stupid to defend a word.
However, I also believe that if these little things will have even a small positive effect on people and prejudices, they are welcome.
