How can you disagree by not quoting my reasonings such as:

: But, considering that most other people, both blacks and whites,
: in US are enjoying Thriller, the Lord of the Rings, Star Wars
: and all the fantasies and FRPGs with such words of "dark lord",
: "black magician" and "dark side of force", there is no such
: culture in US to avoid saying black/dark with negative meaning.

without which, we can't have constructive discussion.

Or, do you agree with me on my points on US culture above?

Then, where is the "real issue"?

Note that, IMHO, most people in US, including blacks, are wise
enough to be able to enjoy terms of "dark lord", "black magician",
"dark side of force",without discriminating people with black skin
just as rest of us can do for people with black cloths.

If you might think they weren't so wise, that could be the worst
kind of discrimination of you.

Then, where is the point to ban "blacklist", "master/slave flip
flop" or "dark web"?
