Words such as whitelist, blacklist, master, and slave are clearly
opressive to many people such as African Americans. I am just
suggesting changes to these words, not simply forcing replacements
that I like more. I think Jouni has been doing great work by only
accepting changes where backward compatibility is maintained and
meaning of terms is clear.

I think removing oppressive language/terms in open source code is
something very useful.

Thanks,
