That's not really analogous.

Master-slave refers to a power relationship. “David star” (even more clearly your pre-edit “Jew") is a clear reference directly to a specific people, and “holocaust” to specific historical events.

I've seen the term "neutered" used to describe this. Like, "The test environment is a neutered version of production. It won't make POST or PUT calls to our partner databases"
