Edit: The Google admin panel won't even populate the "allowlist" when you search whitelist which is frustrating. I'd at least like it to show up, even if it's believed to be important enough to change.
Being reasonable. The master/slave thing is silly.
I worked with a woman whose relatives didn't make it out of Auschwitz.
She objected to us initializing System Services.
Silly?
It’s definitely silly, but otoh I guess all culture is silly…
Some people living today, working in and around a "git default repo setup" are descendants of slaves.
Would it be better if public education simply discussed power dynamics, inclusion, and sensitivity?
If you want to talk about real power dynamics, walk down the street in San Francisco. Visible poverty everywhere, in one of the richest cities on Earth. If you want healthcare, food, shelter, or political representation, you need to pay.
That’s the relevant power dynamic, and because it is so intractable these activists have conceded it and instead resort to virtue signaling (“we can’t change the system but at least we want to!”). Who the hell cares. George Floyd’s problem wasn’t that not enough software engineers were aware of American chattel slavery, his problem was that being poor is effectively illegal.
