Is "allowlist" the new word for whitelist?
-
Not really new, it's been around for about a decade. Otherwise: yes.
-
Some people mistakenly think that the “black” in “blacklist” is a reference to skin color, so they demand it to be changed.
-
"Excuse me, it's 'list of color'."

I'm honestly glad we're getting rid of white/black list. I personally couldn't give a shit the racial element (which wasn't what they ever meant anyway), but I never have to stop and think about it for a half second to figure out which I need. Allow/deny list are just outright better names.
-
Blacklist and whitelist are intuitive to me. It's the black/red/white -pill stuff I never even try to remember
-
I've dealt with them a lot but they never really stuck for some reason. Allow/block is much clearer IMO
