BTW, it might be more inclusive language to use “allow list” and “block list”
I can't imagine being so obsessed with race politics as to think that purely technical terms like "white list" and "black list", which have never had any connection to race relations whatsoever, are somehow non-inclusive.
I can't either. "Allow" and "block" has always made more sense to me, though, so I wouldn't mind the change.
