      It's a racial statement, not a racist statement.

Yeah I think it's a bit daft as I'm sure absolutely no one sees them as a reference to racism but hey, if it's as simple as a new, and possibly better word, then go for it.
        WHS, if other terms are already around we can use.

        That said, I wonder if the brave sysadmins/techies retroactively changing this will have to be treated for PTSD after being exposed to such foul terms, in the same way as those whose work involves watching child porn.
        You heard it here first.

        More likely, we'll find huge amounts of racist code comments "//fixing Bob's stinky curry code"

              You cannot use the word 'black' anymore for any connotation that is considered negative. The liberal woke twats will accept anythng to do with the Tory Party or anything anti-semitic

              So Jewlisted is fine. Torylisted or Boris****WitListed is good.
