Quite a few of these are common tech or engineering etc terms that seem innocuous but are actually rooted in quite offensive or outdated stereotypes. Not going make a difference to most people if they change them, but updating our wonderfully flexible language to incorporate progress in society is a good thing, surely?
Like how the Latin word sinistra meant 'left' but then it morphed into something more like our modern sinister, and that's why there is (or was until very recently) still a weird hang up about left handedness and people have been forced to try and learn to write with their right hand to correct it. It seems small and inconsequential, but when whitelist = good and blacklist = bad it speaks to older associations that aren't outright causing people to go and associate those colours with e.g. skin colour but do have implications in language and how we see the world.
