Most of the organization such as Microsoft (GitHub) and UK NCSC suggest avoiding terms like "Blacklist" and "Whitelist" due to racial stereotyping. It suggests the use of "blocklist" and "allowlist" instead.
I suggest the community as an extremely popular express middle-ware we can support and involve this "Black Lives Matter" movement too.
