This is stupid and I am black. In development words are only used as the best description to what it is. Any layman (can I use that or should I say layperson) can figure out if something is a master and something is not which to mess with and which to leave alone.

In development when I hear master and slave I think write and read, main and duplicate, os files and data files, ok to mess with, not ok to mess with. I do not think about the 1800's or before. I do not think of black people in fields, cotton, or whips. I think in the context of which it is being used.

This idea that people are so sensitive that we have to parse every word before speaking or typing is ridiculous.

Even more interesting to me is when white people act as they know how I feel. Or, that they have to tell me how I feel. Oh, we have to change this because it's offensive to minorities. I am a minority, it never crossed my mind.
