  • That’s actually not true at all.

    The word relates to “Labor relations” by which it means the 17th century where there was widespread slavery of overwhelmingly black people by white colonists.

    Blacklist referred to people who are untrustworthy, suspicious, to be excluded or avoided.

    And white being good and trustworthy.

    The term “blacklist” contains the word “black”, which can unintentionally reinforce negative racial stereotypes. Associating “black” with something undesirable or harmful can inadvertently perpetuate harmful biases and contribute to systematic racism.

    While the term “whitelist” may not appear as directly problematic, it reinforces a hierarchy with “white” as the preferred or privileged category. Such implications can subtly influence our thinking and conserve racial biases.

    And that’s not too mention: Blackmail Black sheep Black Market

    So no, its not that you can’t call something by it’s colour. But associating something bad with black and white with good harmful.
