Yes. You can find PR's on Github and if the maintainer rejects it, accusations of racism and hate crimes.

The acceptable term is something like allowlist/denylist/blocklist.

I've seen the discussion come up about changing these terms and whether it was worth doing. Not once have I seen it turn into an "accusation" of racism against a person, much less hate crimes, so I don't think that paints an accurate picture.
