So they are literally doing the thing where they interpret everything white/black as race-related now? I thought that was a satire thing, but I guess nothing can be contained to satire or fiction in this crazy year of 2020 (and the same goes for the left, right, and everyone else too).

I support some of this, like making things non-gendered, but other replacements, like for whitelist/blacklist and for "grandfathered", seem pretty silly. I don't mind them, per say; I just think they are completely unnecessary, as I know no one offended by any of them, and therefore rather silly.

Racism is supply-and-demand based. There is high demand but low supply, so instead they have to manufacture issues like this to stay relevant.
