FYI I also renamed one test_typing test in commit 0ee0b29. |

I prefer not to do this. I find it linguistically awkward, and reading the history of “blacklist” on Wikipedia I don’t see any connection with racism. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacklisting |
Yes, the term is not racist. It's more subtle. The negative co-notation of black is death by a thousand paper cuts. The great Muhammad Ali explained this in multiple interviews, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eXdt1eGgCA |

Then someone else can approve this. I hope you understand. |
