Can you name a single person the term 'master branch' has hurt? Your subconscious bias of being an oppressor is showing. You are pushing your views onto others

Can you name a single person the term 'master branch' has hurt?
Your subconscious bias of being an oppressor is showing. You are pushing your views onto others. This is what some slave owners tried to do. Maybe you should check your privilege and stop engaging in microaggressions before accusing everybody else of doing the same.

- 1337shadow 6y agoThe master branch has caused many civilian casualties. This change is great but not going far enough, the github background color is white which is offensive, it should use a background that all humans of all colors are equally related to. Options are many: fushia, blue, and green. Also, this comment textarea I'm writing on, is mostly a white background with some black for the text, it's offensive to see that the white occupies a much more real estate than black. And don't even get me started on chess, which is racist because white has the advantage over black, but also sexist because you sacrify the queen to save the king.
