I found the thought of adding a "yellowlist" funny, as some people are starting to find the use of "whitelist" and "blacklist" racist.

It would be more consistent to call it greenlist, yellowlist, redlist then.

Some people couldn't find their butt with both hands and a map. Best not to take advice from them. Unless you find yourself surrounded. In which case smile and nod.

Don’t forget to avoid saying ‘blacksmith’ too. Another somewhat ‘racist’ one. /s

Still waiting for Mastercard to change their incredibly ‘racist’ company name. /s
