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."

The malicious compliance alternative:
"blacklist" -> "[bandstop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band-stop_filter)list"
"whitelist" -> "[bandpass](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandpass_filter)list"
