I do care about all of the BLM movement, I really do. I can't stand racism or any other sort of hate towards minorities or any other group of people.
That being said, can we please keep politics away from software development? We already have good fights to battle, and changing whitelist / blacklist or master / slave isn't really helping to the cause.
This matter obviously is not only related to Rubyists, Rustaceans, Gophers or any other programmer group anyways.
I don't see the point in moving politics to software: if you really want a change you should vote for better leaders and fight in different ways. I don't think anybody will ever be offended by reading "whitelist" or "master". Truth is that nowadays everybody gets offended by anything.
Please, do not answer to this comment if you intend to make the discussion political. I feel that it is right to speak up for your rights, but I feel that it is best if we generally keep the discussions apolitical, whenever possible
