The only comment in this entire thread that actually attacks the root of the problem and offers THE solution.
A nonsensical "racial" hierarchy based on nominal colours is the SOURCE of the problem.
For what it's worth, the labels "white" and "black" were NOT chosen randomly by the architects of racial hierarchy (see Bacon's rebellion).
It was a very effective use of symbolism, to assign and label one part of humanity as the untermensch, and thus justify their enslavement and exploitation.
Changing branch names and policing language is akin to bandaid on a festering wound.
