You seem to be saying that master boot record "conveys exclusion of marginalized groups" but gimp (an offensive term for someone who is physically disabled) does not. I don't initially come to the same conclusion as you on this. Would you be willing to talk me through your thought process?
- marcinzm 6y agoYou gave multiple examples many of which were not about marginalized groups. It's clear that your problem was offense and not marginalized groups. Thus my comment. Gimp is also not used in the context of someone who is disabled while master is used in the context of something which is in control. But personally I do feel gimp should be renamed as well.
- stephenr 6y agoThat usage of the term gimp is American slang. The terms master and slave are dictionary terms, and their usage is generally a similar meaning to the historical acts at the root of the issue.
