Re: Rename offensive terminology (master)

Ok, first of all, "making a better world". Get off your high horse, ok? This is a version control system, an engineering tool. This change is 100% meaningless and will bring literally zero impact to the world except the disruption in people's workflow. Second, this is a GLOBAL community. It does NOT revolve around americans is it NOT used exclusively used by americans. Let's assume just because a handful of people (by the way, only 8% of americans are progressive https://hiddentribes.us/profiles/) feels in a certain, does that means we should make changes like this because of any other people? Indians find it offensive that people eat cows. Muslims find it offensive that homosexuals are alive. French find it offensive when you don't take wine seriously. Chinese find black people offensive. Polish find communism offensive. Brazilians find classism offensive. Are we going around making all these slacktivist changes just because someone, somewhere might remotely feel offended by it?

Not only the original proposal comes from an absurd point of view and is just an excuse to say one is offended, but it also demonstrates just how entitled it is by ignoring that there are many others points of views and each one would be as valid to enact a plethora of other meaningless and pointless changes. Because let's not forget a very, very important aspect here: MASTER IS NOT INHERENTLY RELATED TO MASTER-SLAVE RELATIONS. It was pointed before but people keep willingly ignoring it: YOU JUST WANT TO BE OFFENDED. This is why I say "perpetually offended". You don't need to propose software changes likes this, you need therapy.
