      What makes no sense is the words “white” and “black” as referring to people. People are brown, all of them.

      I remember when I tried setting up a server a couple decades ago and I didn’t understand what the difference between a white and black list were. Made no sense to me.

      Allow/block can’t be mistaken. It’s literally a better choice of words for many reasons.
