Racist?[edit]
Over on Wikipedia, some are claiming that this word and its antonym are racist, or that a significant number of people believe that these words are racist. Is there any evidence of this? If this is true, I find it strange that there's nothing about it here. Adam9007 (talk) 22:42, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

- They've now posted several links proving that some people do consider these terms to have racial connotations, so I think these entries each need a usage note. Adam9007 (talk) 19:42, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- Blacklist and blocklist are not synonyms in every case. Equinox ◑ 08:05, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
