If we want we could remove "master" from everyday usage:
master branch/copy - that's your main or primary
master degree - is now an expert degree
martial arts master - congratulations, you're a guru!
master bedroom - is now your main, great or grand bedroom (in fact it used to be called the main bedroom not that long ago)
skill mastery - you quashed it!
Should we make these changes? I don't know, I'm a white guy. What I do know is it's time to put an end to systemic racism. If making these seemingly small changes are enough to change people's worldview in a meaningful way then I think we should explore it. There's potentially a lot to gain for such seemingly trivial and small changes in word usage.
