    Hey I absolutely love your tutorials, but it would be good if you could find another way of saying master/slave, because it’s a real anxiety trigger for a black person like me, and it’s always been that way. I’m pretty sure most other black people feel the same way.

    I agree it’s insensitive. There’s actually been some debate around this in the technology community: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master/slave_(technology)#Terminology_concerns

    Do you have a suggestion for alternative terminology?
