Do you think the terms Whitelist and Blacklist are racist?
Missing poll answer: I'm the OP and I call the tune here

Frankly, the only people that could claim concern over the use of "white" and "black" as standardized modifiers are albinos and Africans with skin tone comparable to that of Malik Agar (attached). For the rest of us, it's shades of peach-white and brown and bronze and copper and red.
Further, black-white duality is based on the contrast of Light against Darkness, not off of any sort of reference to pigmentation.
So, in summary, "No" would work, but "No, that's stupid." is probably more appropriate.

Of course.
I also have problems with blackboards and whiteboards. Thanks to them, the schools are subliminaly installing ideas of racism into our youth from a very early age. It must end.
:P

ideas of racism
Have you noticed that you always use white chalk on a blackboard and black marker on a whiteboard, as those options work best when used in harmony with their contrasting frameworks?

You use black markers and white chalk? Don't you know your adding to the problem!? ALL writing utensils must be/have ink of a race-neutral color. Preferably green or blue. Not purple of course, as that may be the skin color of a theoretical extraterrestrial living below the surface of Jupiter's 37th moon.

In fairness, clear boards really do work the best in allowing any color marking to show clearly, assuming there's not a lot of visual noise going on behind the frame, so it's hard to argue for a shift away from black and white boards.
..Thus proving that black and white work better in harmony, but work best when they don't worry about color at all.

Huh, have you noticed that the thread and some answers are not serious?

I think the association of black and evil, predates racism. Racism is not that old compared to the advent of our species really. The black color was first associated with the night, which inspired terror before we learned to control and produce fire. Even now night gives chills to the people, instinctively.

What about teeth? Everyone wants to have white teeth! What about black teeth? What's wrong with that?

Yes list is very racist term. As some culture might prefer something else.

Honestly, I think political correctness only succeeds to make a nation of people over-sensitized to being insulted too easily. Not saying that about anyone here though, just speaking about it in general.

As opposed to being what, exactly? :P
You've really only got open sandwich, sandwich, sandwich roll, and pie as possible descriptors for something wrapped in breading.
I mean, you could call it "Mystery Meat + Bread", but I think US public school cafeteria menus already have that phrase trademarked. >.>

Who the hell has pie made from bread?! O__o
PASTRY!

Quite a few pies use bread dough instead of pastry dough (and, of course, many others utilize things such as graham crackers or cookies for their crusts). Most notably, pizzas use a type of bread dough. Bread dough is also a popular option for quiche pie crust.
Edit:
Pies have no restriction on their crusts, as potato-based dough, biscuit dough, pastry dough, crumb-based dough, and bread-based dough are all wide-spread. Many modern pizzas classify as pies, due to their wrapped, deep-filled structure. More classic thin-crust pizzas simply classify as topped flatbreads (ie, open sandwiches), making them a bit of an exception to the label. Likewise, Calzones and Strombolis, unlike Panzerotti, utilize a bread-based crust, but still classify as turnovers, a kind of pastry- though they're usually grouped in with folded pizzas, and thus considered to sort in with pies rather than with pastries.

pizzas are not pies.
any pie that does not use pastry for its casing, is NOT a pie.
im just going to presume now, that you are american, without even looking at your profile (no offense intended, this is just a conversation that I will not continue, as I have been here before, and do not wish to be here in six hours). I would rather we leave on a disagreement without the typing! ;)

The need for approval from the others is a characteristic of tiny people...
P.S.: Btw, you really show some need for approval by using such big letters, huh?
