Go out into the world and train under-privileged folks on what they would need to be github employees in future that you would hire without a second thought independent of special 'diversity' mandates. Do more of that instead of focusing on trivial bs like master/slave.

The real problem will not be solved by newspeak naming, but by actually giving genuinely equal opportunity to everyone, and perhaps more importantly, the means and environment to take up that opportunity.
