No, I was there. That didn't happen. I think you are falling for what the medium article described.

The whole point of the article is that all of those usually go
"Hey, we should refer to our db nodes as the primary and secondaries, cause master & slave has some historical baggage"
"Yeah, K, not really a big deal"
Not
"OMG YOU CALLED THE DB NODE SLAVE YOU'RE RACIST ARRHRHRGRGRGGRGR"

Then I disagree with the premise of the article, and the dozen or so friends on my Facebook feed that attended Mt Holyoke are proof that this sort of outrage is a real thing.

I think this is a great example of what I mention up thread. kelukelugames helped to spread the outrage with their tone and dog whistles about "privilege". seattle_spring then picked it up and ran with it. Had kelukelugames presented their argument in a less troll-y way, the outrage may have reached a temporary endpoint instead of spreading.
- Being told the term "you guys" is a micro-aggression that disenfranchises marginalized peoples.
- Being scolded for using the term "man hours."
- Being around people who think that a red hand at a crosswalk is emblematic of systemic racism.
- Working with people who look down at spending Thanksgiving with family, and instead rant about how you're celebrating the murder of the native peoples.
... and any other similar non-issue that psychos left and right today are touting as the biggest issues facing people today.
