The race mongering never ceases. A story from Yahoo notes that a blacklist, or a whitelist for that matter, is racist:

The word “blacklist” has been banned from use by Britain’s Scotland Yard over fears that it is racist, a media report said Monday.

Not just that.

The computer term whitelist that was used to denote a list of acceptable contacts has also been banned, reported The Sun.

And I thought that ebony and ivory were living in perfect harmony? Thanks to Travis Holte for the link.
