I remember when BLM was becoming a thing. I was working with a rapidly scaling concurrent system. We had already gone through every variation of “master” and “slave” and had code using it to describe the various relationships. “Slave” was a worker whose behavior was exclusively and directly defined by the “master”, “minions” had more autonomy, etc. Eventually the terminology expanded and lost all sense and reason. Just our own in-house jargon. If we could do it over we would have chosen something different, but we were fighting for solvency at that point. COVID really messed stuff up.
