Well, there's nothing discriminatory about killing. We kill everyone eventually!

  Slavery is not exclusive to black people either.

    Your right, it's insensitive to every people group that's been enslaved for any period of time. Yet somehow that doesn't encompass all people groups in the same way that kill does. Maybe we should be considerate of all peoples/individuals who have experienced slavery directly or in their ancestry. My Swiftian Proposal: lets just remain all uses of the word "slave" to "forcedChildLaborer". It's more accurate anyway, since in software a "slave" is usually "born" into the role and often times doesn't live very long. We are striving for accuracy after all, right? And for my two cents that will inflame this even more: We should considering deprecating the use of "kill" to signify terminate. I haven't used it in my 15+ years of writing software professionally and no one has impugned my code quality for not using "kill" enough.

  In the terminal it isn't all that rare to talk about killing children, sometimes even immediately after spawning. It might be a cultural warning on how an uncontrolled child, separated from its parent, could easily become a zombie. Not sure.

  discrimination: bad; killing: not a problem? Edit: I'm not being snarky. I truly don't understand this distinction.
