If we were to change the nomenclature to something like "disallowed" and
"allowed", should we not consider the class of disallowed out there to
be inherently persecuted? Are we looking at choosing variable names
with no corresponding representation in the dictionary (just in case)?
var lkjsfal = "Hello, Hell.";
Variable naming is a wide ranging philosophical issue ..
I for one am very glad we're fixing racism (actually, we may have fixed
it already).

We all ready?

We had a late start, but it seems Newspeak will be established until
2050 as originally intended by ministery of truth.

What it the problem people seem to have with honest attempts to
address systemic racism in the world and the US especially. We can
expect NOTHING to change if we take a "I couldn't be bothered"
attitude.
I can only assume that if you are complaining about someone else's
attempt to begin taking action, then you are a racist. If not, then I
apologize. But only if you are not.
Yes, it took some effort to make these recent changes, and All I can
say is thank you for doing that!
