It's no different from the HDD master / slave argument of old. Are we also going to stop calling connectors male and female? This is just common nomenclature. I don't think any offense was ever inserted when these terms were being created nor while they are in use today.
Unless there is good evidence that the guy who came up with the master / slave wording was intentionally doing it to remind people of slavery, (or something to that effect) there is no issue here. As for white / black list and male / female...just come on now. That's unreasonable and ridiculous.
Is this seriously what people are getting upset about? That the words white and black are being used? They're taking completely benign words and assigning malicious meaning to them where none exists. It's manufactured outrage. If you smell shit everywhere you look, check your shoes.
Frankly this just furthers the racial divide and I think it's done intentionally to keep up apart. This isn't progress, it's just more racism honestly.
