Is this fake? I thought the term is whitelisted not allowlisted
In recent years there's been a shift from "white/black list" to "allow/block list" in an effort to avoid the stereotypes associated with those terms. I wouldn't say it's the new norm yet, but it's slowly becoming more popular.
Yeah, basically the demand for hate outstrips the supply, so they decided that whitelist/blacklist is racist. Its just a power trip, being able to change peoples vocab with nonsense.
Firefighter is the best of these.
I have joined the war on fire, on the side of fire.

Fire fighters fight fire. Crime fighters fight fire.
