  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.

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

They are a trillion dollar company, they can afford to give some slack on this issue that maybe affects 5% of their users
