    The best reasoning I saw for this change was for clarity for non native English speakers. If you’re learning the language “allowlist” is definitely more clear in meaning than “whitelist”

        I don’t know what you are talking about.

        Even if our dialects (Mexican) didn’t have vestigial racism and fake dichotomies, permitir y bloquear is as straight forward as you can get.

        IT switched from white/black literally years ago, if your department didn’t, you are quite stuck in time.
