I'm so glad there are such people w/ great priorities.

Wow... Pretty much no one will ever see that term.
Also, code doesn't see color.... but it does show its true colors in a good IDE.

But seriously though. Nothing wrong w/ 'whitelist', 'blacklist', 'master', 'slave' or whatever in computing. Too many retards have infiltrated the field w/ their weird views.
I'll take security over * cough * approved language every time.
I just wanna show you guys our branches.
My college:
*buys thousands of iMac for students
*runs Windows on it

Writing Regex be like..
My urgent, drop-everything, “bad actors have access to merchants and we can’t block them!” ticket that I rushed to finish didn’t make it into the release. It passed QA; everything works. There’s no complaints on code quality, either.
The blocker? My code uses the word “whitelist” (which is already present in the greater codebase in a related feature), and that made the woke VP (who happened to review the ticket) go REEEEEEE!! and demand I fix it to use approved language, therefore delaying the security fix until the next release cycle.
Yes, seriously.
It would be comical if I wasn’t so disgusted.
Oh well. Enjoy your bad company PR, dude. I hope it all burns.
