Why not assume good faith on the part of the people who used the terms "master" and "slave"?

The person mentioned in the post obviously didn't assume that after they started name calling but I think you could assume good faith usage of those words and still have a problem with it.

One should also understand that not all countries have the same political activists and race-baiters that the US has and therefore the words master and slave don't carry the same baggage as they do in the US.

Master/slave doesn't carry baggage because of political activists and race-baiters but because of the US' history of slavery/racism.
