This 'thread/post' is now
way too long... It's
not that everything said is not
relevant/worthy!...
It's just that it's like people talking in a loud & noisy room, where
99% of the dialog is
missed! ![Scared :scared:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/scared.gif.pagespeed.ce.oZptHNcbsD.gif)
Back to the very first
post/question, is 'Master/Slave' racist??
NO!! One may consider oneself
a '
slave' to their powerful/demanding BOSS, colloquially, without ANY talk of
Race/Colour/Creed !!!
We have '
Master/Slave' brake cylinders etc, which depict '
verbally' which ones do the 'work'!!
NEVER in 65 years of my life have I even
remotely correlated this with 'colour/race' etc!!!

Again, I may be 'biased' by thinking as a mere Aussie. They are just WORDS of OLD, that do
NOTreflect racial status to me, or anyone else that I know. Yes... stop racism...
But do not
tar every one globally with the same brush with just 'words' EVEN just than line I
JUST said there... "
Taring people", EVIDENTLY meant JUST THAT a long time ago, when 'lesser'
folk were covered in hot tar & then feathers. Is that bad??...
YES!, of course, and we are more
educated now, but such '
metaphors' exist today, like many others, that describe emotions &
actions that are NOT condoned today, but get the point across... and
NOT a racial one...

I just know that '
I' will sleep every night, knowing that '
I' am not a '
racist', but will continue
to 'complain' about the so-called '
do-gooders' who just want to make waves...
