It actually says what it does in the name without using the idea of racism and white supremacy.

The origin of the words blacklist and whitelist doesn't have anything to do with racism. If someone looks around and only sees racism, then who is the racist?

    Even if the word's origins aren't racism, I hope you can see why having a blacklist with "bad" things on it that won't be allowed and a whitelist with "good" things that are allowed maybe isn't the friendliest terminology. (especially when there are more intuitive names available that avoid this problem)

    Some would argue it's culturally imperialistic to impose US cultural sensitivities on the rest of the international English community. Wasn't the inventor of git Finnish? The entire world uses git.
