The article mentions changing the term in favour of something "more inclusive" but fails to explain why it's a problematic term in the first place. Wikipedia is not a place for activitism... — Preceding

It is true Wikipedia is not a place to practice activism. However, it is also true Wikipedia is a place for mentioning how activism is impacting or has impacted the world as a whole or even a particular article subject. I will not immediately re-include a mention of the current controversy, because I would like to hear others' thoughts on the matter: Should we include in this article, without taking a stance, the current controversy regarding racial insensitivity, whether that insensitivity is real or perceived?
I was asked to remove the terms "whitelisting" and "blacklisting" at work because they were not "inclusive" enough. The terms "whitelisting" and "blacklisting" appear in
NIST 800-171 R2, are technical terms that have been in use since at least the 1980s, and have nothing to do with race. While Wikipedia may not be the place to practice activism, perhaps there should at least be some mention of the fact that the primary casualty of the Left's war on language is truth.
