The Tutanota email client has never used any racially insensitive terms such as blacklist. However, in solidarity with the #BlackLivesMatter movement, we have now revised our FAQ and How-to to replace some phrases with neutral descriptions. #BLM

@Tutanota I just translated this for you guys to Dutch,... but I feel very weird about this... A blacklist and whitelist were not intended this way. But I guess it has come to this.

@marc0janssen We know, but as we haven't used it in the client anyway, we thought why not get rid of the wording altogether.

@Tutanota I don't make a whole deal out of this. I don't really care.

But these words you are changing, have nothing to do with racism.

If I say the night is black. Am I racist? People associate the night with evil and bad. Is the black night now become racist?
