Maybe it's an unpopular opinion but I really don't think it is. It's a descriptive term. You'd need to also change the name of the Masters tournament and masters degree while we're at it, along with anything else that uses the term master.
Master/slave client terminology on the other hand is definitely racist. Something like primary/ auxiliary would probably be better.
- hashkb 6y agoSlavery isn't always racist, by the way. Sometimes it's religious or nationalist. Since we're talking about context, it's good to understand the enormous range of people who could be offended by seeing slavery references at work.
- hanniabu 6y ago> it's good to understand the enormous range of people who could be offended Again, possibly another unpopular opinion, but there really is a huge range of things people are offended by and there will always be people being offended by something. If you keep removing things that people are offended by then there's not much left. Granted there's a line, but I don't think this meets that threshold.
