Who gives a fuck about slavery in 18th century US, when there are 21 to 36 million slaves in the world today. That means that there are more people enslaved to...fucking...day, than at any other point in history.
If you want to get the word changed do it out of respect for those living in slavery today, and not because some of the most privileged people on earth (first world software developers regardless their minority) could get their feelings hurt.
I got the impression that the people most vocal about these terms don't really care about the issues. They just want the thrill of changing the world, without actually doing or changing anything.
If we ban all the bad words from our vocabulary, it only serves to pretend the bad things they name don't exist.
