What are the words used as a replacement?
Although I don't know the origin of whitelist and blacklist (i.e. why the good one is white and the bad one is black), I don't care if someone asks for me to stop using those terms because they feel offended. Sounds like a small compromise on my side.
However, I disagree on the master vs slave understanding. Slavery is a concept that exists without our sociological legacy. We cannot understand our history without acknowledging slavery. And it's a useful concept to describe the relationship between systems that behave like a master and a slave.
My 2 cents :)
