Linus Torvalds approved on Friday a new and more inclusive terminology for the Linux kernel code and documentation.
Going forward, Linux developers have been asked to use new terms for the master/slave and blacklist/whitelist terminologies.
The Linux team did not recommend any specific terms but asked developers to choose as appropriate.
The new terms are to be used for new source code written for the Linux kernel and its associated documentation.
The older terms, considered inadequate now, will only be allowed for maintaining older code and documentation, or "when updating code for an existing (as of 2020) hardware or protocol specification that mandates those terms."

Why do you hate white people? Why don't white lives matter to you? Why are you obsessed with trying to get people to say the n-word? You use it more than EF does.

TBH, it's just easier than doing the work to build the community up. Blaming things on the white devils is a really good way of avoiding having to ever take responsibility. Some communities recognize that a broken taillight is a legitimate reason to be pulled over, some don't. Care to guess which group winds up being ticketed and hauled off to jail more?
I'm going to laugh my ass off when we're no longer a majority white country and these people start to realize just how much of this was their own doing.
Severely oppressed groups in the US have managed to overcome it, it's just that they didn't waste time looking for reasons to be offended.
Living in a racist society is going to be hard and the standards are going to be higher for those that want to achieve something. But, knee capping yourself by breaking laws, giving the police an excuse to use violence and not taking school seriously just compounds things.

They will never learn. 100 years after they have murdered and bred out all the whites and the infrastructure we designed is in crumbled ruins they will be blaming the legacy of white oppression, or some shit. We have to separate ASAP.
