This is the dumbest thing ever.

First of all, if anything, being a slave is not racial; all cultures had slaves, not just black slaves. White people were enslaved during the Ottoman empire in Europe, asian people were enslaved, hell, the entire China was enslaved during the Japanese occupation :)
Black people are enslaving other black people right now, in Africa.

Connecting "Master" to a racial thing is literally a sign of ignorance at best.

Also:

  • Grand Master in Chess?
  • "Master & Servant" by Depeche Mode
  • music recordings are stored as "Masters"
  • Master's Thesis?

This is getting ridiculous
