Anybody who then decides that a person, who thinks such terms have anything to do with race, is worth listening to, much less creating legislation (even on some pathetic little county level) is a even bigger moron.
A both types of people are probably bigots themselves.
Why?
Because the first thing that jumped to their minds is that is a racist comment and insesitive. A person who automaticly jumps to that conclusion has in continually thinking about everything in terms of Black people and White people. That's what rasists do. A non-rascist person will occasionally think about that stuff when the situation warrents it, but not in a normal course of a day.
And more then likely those freaks are completely INSANE.
A normal person of normal intellegence and is sane doesn't think in terms like that. A sane person who sees labels like that on hardware (and doesn't understand) automaticly wonders why something would be labeled "master" and "slave" in the first place. Not that it has anything remotely to do with slavery from over a century and a half ago.
Just like the first time you saw the reference to 2 wire ends called "male" and "female" ends. Then you looked at the wire and saw the end with they pointy things (male) goes into the end with the holes (female). It just makes sense.
That is a reasonable and sane response.
The following is not a reasonable and sane response and the person who thinks like this is probably a idiot and should be ignored completely in this context:
"OMG! That wire is further example of how a male dominated sociaty automaticly and subconciously assumes that a female (here represented as a RECEPTICAL) is incomplete without a male-figure injecting his masculenity and control/dominance (here representated by a phalic symbolic PLUG and it's electronic SEMEN) over her. This sort of references only further enforce the stereotypical viewpoint about female relatio...." BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Ya, that's why we refer to wire ends with adapters as "transgender" or "transexual" ends.

I'd hate for this get out of hand. But i agree with you. I think Andy Rooney would have some fun with this one. I could just hear him(example). I think it's detrimental to all persons named JOHN, you think of a bathroom, or an unidentified body or someone who has nothing better to do than to pick up prostitutes, come on America lets give JOHN a break! These terms need to be changed. Also the dictionary should be rewritten removing MASTER and SLAVE from within. Give me a break!! I was a slave for 38 years on the job and did what I was told. WANNABEE
