Never made the connection. I think its a bit far fetched to get worked up about, but PC Gaming Race could work i guess
So far fetched the tech industry has been working to get rid of master/slave and blacklist/whitelist for years. Definitely just OP noticed tho
Never made the connection on black/whitelisting before now. Huh.
Because that's not the connection, and you didn't make it because you're not looking for silly reasons to get upset over. The symbolism of dark vs light, fire vs darkness predates modern notions of racism and according to a quick wiki check, the etymology of the word blacklist has no relation to the color of anyone's skin either.
And it's a ridiculous and empty gesture there as well as here.
Just as far fetched, yes.
