whilst some conferences are American yes, not all are so thinking that one viewpoint is acceptable is wrong and should not be forced down others' throats.
Blacklist is a universal term and is not offensive and trying to say so is stupid so changing the language to appease a small minority of people is stupid. ML and most computer-based software are binary based so changing languages for the sake of it is stupid anyway.

I'm, not a boomer, just not an American so I don't subscribe to the American way of thinking.

Blacklist has been used long before ML even existed. It is not a new word and makes sense. Not everything has to be American focused.

of course, it matters to the individual and for the individual to concern themselves with.
The concept of science is the detail within, not the language used as long as the result is shown to be what is proven/unproven.
