Not black or USA nationality, but this is not revisionism. The origin of the term in gut is in the master/slave concept and because that’s an ugly (and pointless) association the term is evolving.

Terms change. We will adapt just fine, and “main” is a better name anyway, as others have pointed out here in this thread.

The change of the name is not motivated by a better semantical fitness, it's motivated exclusively by the recent, and well justified, political movements in the US. People out there are asking to be treated like human beings and not shot by the police and all they get is a change of a word that has absolutely nothing to do with their conditions or context. Nothing changes for developers, true, but absolutely nothing changes for black people in the US neither. I find it an hypocrisy, which is why I don't like it.
