Actually, I don't approve this. Can we revert it? The term "white label" has racist origins and we should NOT use it. https://developers.google.com/style/word-list#white-label

I went through this recently with Zoey who was using the term in her News blog post. After I pointed it out, she reworded it.

@Hixie please revert. See @sfshaza2 for reasoning

Looks like it's not so much that it has racist origins (looks like the origin is DJs ripping off the labels from vinyl disks), as much as people have been assigning it racial overtones by virtue of overzealously including it in lists of racial terms, but the effect is much the same in the end...
