Blacklist has been part of the English language for roughly 400 years, and is far more common than "denylist" or the other alternatives being used such as "blocklist". There is no reason to argue that those trend are any more accurate (not to mention it has never been about race).

As for master/slave, I think changing over to primary/replica makes a bit more sense, though then we should also ban the word "robot" while we are at it.
