It complies with the letter of their requirement (don't use racist terms, and bandpass/bandstop aren't racist), but in a way that is worse than what they wanted. And if they say "nobody knows those terms," you can say "a lot programmers still haven't heard of allowlist/blocklist, so it's a wash either way."

sounds like my previous company which had to replace "blacklist" and "whitelist" with "blocklist" and "allowlist" etc. else they would not be allowed to join a conference ...
