Even with master-slave, why is that offensive? It’s a concept. Is referring to poor quality work insulting to poor people? Sure, the concept was applied to people and it was horrible. But does not speaking the words/concepts help? Should we never speak of the holocaust for the same reason? I’ve never understood the logic of how a concept is personally insulting or painful. It’s just a concept.
