Not all of us :-). Somebody try to play in politics games, instead of coding.

Yes, i have one - "master". It's used about 15 years by millions of developers and projects. I think this is a best portfolio ever. Other words we are discussing already show drawbacks. We have no one ideal word :-). In any case, this is not matter. Nor my or you opinion. There are some white people with conscience problems and they try to solve it in such a strange way. After that, they willn't become better, but they think they will. Code and the rest of humanity just victims in this situation.
