I’d ask every white person who says they don’t like these changes because they're shallow/pandering/not as good as real antiracist action to take a step back and ask yourself if that’s the real reason you dislike this change.

Is it possible you actually had a knee-jerk reaction to PC-ness and are retroactively justifying it with logic?

I think it’s common for people (maybe especially engineering types?) to have an emotional reaction to something and find a logical reason for that emotion instead of admitting that maybe they were just being reactionary in the moment.

Definitely not just engineers -- that's how all humans function across the whole planet.

That is, humans act based on feelings, and rationalize afterwards with logic (like you wrote).

And some of the "logic" in this topic, is quite weird I have to say.

(Personally I like most of these changes, e.g. "replica" or "standby" instead of "slave", also more clear & precise what it means?)
