There were masters and slaves thousands of years before it existed here in America. To claim the terms are only referencing slavery in America is rather short sighted.
- abootstrapper 6y agoWho claimed that? The straw man you built?
- bmm6o 6y agoI'm not sure i saw that claim in TFA. Did i miss it?
- therealdrag0 6y agoIt’s only “racial” if master/slave is racial. There has been racial slavery in America. But the master/slave are themselves are not inherently racial words. To be hyperbolic, it’d be like avoiding the use of the word “cotton”.
- hw 6y agoRight. How are these terms 'racially loaded'? The concept of masters and slaves have been a part of humanity for a long time in many different cultures and countries. Great that they're working on this, but how about them engineers work on improving their API stability.
