It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology’s problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

Blacklist is a word that goes back to the 17th century. The origin had nothing to do with ethnicity, it had to do with whether someone was against the monarchy during the English Revolution.
Seems weird to remove words from existence out of fear that someone (who’s probably acting in bad faith) might take a bad meaning from it.
