 |blacklist|blocklist|A list of items, such as usernames, email addresses, or IP addresses, that are denied access to a certain system or function. When a blocklist is used for access control, all entities are allowed access, except for those that are included in the blocklist.|As a pair, "blacklist" and "whitelist" promote racial bias by implying that black is bad and white is good.

Do not use "master" when a pairing with "slave" is either explicit or implied. Use of the term "master" is acceptable if it is not paired with "slave" and when it is not used to convey power or control over another entity. Context is key. Examples of acceptable uses of "master" include: master data management, master inventor, master’s degree|

The terms "white hat" and "black hat" promote racial bias because black is used to indicate malevolence while white indicates ethical, positive behavior.|
 |white hat hacker|offensive security researcher|A hacker who breaks into organizations or targets with the goal of uncovering risky vulnerabilities that criminal attackers might exploit for personal gain.|
 |Chinese wall|Use "ethical wall" or "firewall"|An information barrier that prevents exchanges or communication that could lead to conflicts of interest.|This term, when used to describe an information barrier between parties, is outdated and might be perceived as culturally insensitive or offensive because it inappropriately refers to ethnicity.|

+|tribe|Use "squad" or "team"||Do not use to refer to a group formed to accomplish a task. Use another term such as "squad" or "team". "Tribe" is a term that can be associated with colonialism or can be considered cultural appropriation.|

+|Scrum Master|Use only to refer to someone who has attained Professional Scrum Master certification. Otherwise use scrum leader.||This term uses "master" in an ambiguous way that can be interpreted as a reference to slavery.|
 
 ## **What action is required for IBM Business Partners and Intellectual Property Partners (IPPs)?**
 IBM Business Partners and Intellectual Property Partners (IPPs) are not contractually required to remove biased terminology. However, IBM encourages our partners to review their terminology on a voluntary basis to ensure that the language used in products and content supports racial and cultural inclusivity. Many organizations across the IT industry are engaging in this important movement to replace biased terminology.

 |master inventor|No change recommended|This term does not fall under the criteria for replacing the term "master". It refers to a level of skill rather than a dominate/subordinate relationship.|
 |parent/child|No change recommended|Although the relationship of parent and child is one of dependency, it is appropriate. Parents do have legal rights over children until a certain age, so it is a natural dependency relationship. Children falling victim to adult power is not the main result of this relationship, so this term does not represent an abuse of power typically.|
 |POC (proof of concept)|No change recommended|This is a general business term that originates outside of IT. The context is widely known and is key here. This is not likely to be confused with "person of color". It's common and acceptable for acronyms and abbreviations to have multiple full forms.|
+quarantine|No change recommended|Quarantine is a temporary measure that doesn't deprive people of rights and privileges permanently or long term the way that segregation does.|
 |red team|No change recommended.|This use of "red" does not refer to Indigenous people and does not reinforce a negative stereotype.|
 |religiously (meaning with discipline but also potentially offending to atheists)|No change recommended|This term is not considered offensive.|
 |white box|No change recommended|There is no need to change white box because black box refers to opacity, such as details that aren't visible or are not the focus. It is not based on a good/bad binary and so does not fall under our guiding principle for black and white terms.|
