I hope, as part of the movement to clean the language of touchy usage, the word "slave" also gets dropped from English and other languages since it derives from "Slavic" people who, during the Roman times, were captured and used for unpaid labour.<p>Please do not refer to the practice of abusing people and forcing them to work as "slavery" either.<p>I am exaggerating a bit, but the point stands: master might have a bad connotation when it comes to enslavement, but the term has and has had other meanings prior to being used in that manner.<p>Since this discussion went so far as to touch on black- and whitelists, I wonder if we are to stop from black symbolizing darkness (you know, night) and ill, and white from symbolizing light (day) and good.
