This kind of thing is infuriating. Especially when the actual etymology of “blacklist” is a 17th century play where a list of nobles scheming against the British monarchy is described as a blacklist.

But the word black is used so clearly it’s racist, right? How can we be woke if we don’t randomly ban words because of their alternate meanings?
