31670	"Change ""whitelist"" to ""allow list"" and ""blacklist"" to ""deny list""."	Adam Johnson	David Smith	"Started by David Smith in https://github.com/django/django/pull/12755 but closed due to lack of discussion at the time. He used the term ""blocklist"" but I think ""deny list"" fits better in most circumstances.

Due to #BlackLivesMatter, this is currently being discussed on Twitter by several people including Simon Willison: https://twitter.com/simonw/status/1269292897997709317 . Carlton and I discussed on the original PR that the term's origin in English wasn't racist. But it has been used in racist contexts, and continues to be. Given that we put up our banner of support for BLM I think we should also make this docs change.

The 'whitelist' parameter and attribute of EmailValidator will need to go through the normal deprecation process."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Core (Other)	dev	Normal	fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
