This is lazy pandering and does absolutely nothing to address actual POC issues. It also paints words with zero history of racism in a "bad" light because it's somehow associated with a color?
Now we've bulkanized terminology all in the name of progress, ironically making it even harder for newcomers to learn.
Overall, it's just a disgusting ineffective move by crusaders determined to police, rewrite and erase language. I can't fathom how anyone decides this is what we should be doing to promote inclusivity.

This isn't over-cynicism. Consider all the otherwise-still-working books and tutorials that would be obsolete just for this change. Some kids still get their start from dead leaves and it would just be unnecessary mental tax on them to keep in mind that "master" is now "primary" because reasons. Not to mention that whatever they might be reading might've already used "primary" for a different context. Extremely superficial.
