I know I'm only a minority voice among many but this whole discussion doesn't have any sense. Removing words that in their intention are totally unrelated to racism just because 'they look like so' is nonsense.
In the western culture:
black = night = unknown = hidden danger = bad
white = day = light = warmth = certainty = good

That racism is directed mainly toward black people is an unfortunate coincidence that doesn't have anything to do with the meaning that we have given to white and black since well before black slavery was even a thing.
And talking about slavery, Americans didn't invent it. Slavery has existed since humankind itself, it's been the driving force behind the Roman empire and Romans didn't enslave only black people, they enslaved any people that they conquered regardless of their skin color.

This discussion of removing terms like blacklist or master is confusing correlation and causation.

I'll keep using the branch 'master' in my personal projects regardless of what the WP community decides. And I won't certainly think of a white man going around with a whip screaming to black people when I use it.
