:D I noticed it also. Afaic is an inappropriate association of the term
blacklist with ethnicity just limited to the person who thinks like this.

Seeing you are from Germany, I believe you are asking an
honest question. In the US, "blacklist" can have some
unpleasant connotations.

FWIW, when I heard first heard the term "blacklist" many
years ago, I had no idea what its meaning was. To me,
"blocklist" has a more direct meaning in the English
Language. And for people new to IT, they will know its
meaning without any confusion.

Sadly, the work effort to respond to this isn't limited. :-/

I have always the impression that the US can't see past their own
history. It is not just blacklist, it is the combination of blacklist
and white list, opposites. This originates from 1000's of years BC.

This is just a problem of a dumb and ignorant generation. Let's be
honest, the one that associates colored people with the term blacklist,
those people are the problem. And they don't start thinking differently
when a term blocklist is being used.
