You started off with a reasonable point, but please take a moment to rethink what you're saying.

We're talking about words vs. words here. Nobody is enslaving anyone, which would be the equivalent to your utterly horrible analogy here.

You're dead wrong. So you DO incorrectly believe that slavery is over and done with.

I already presented you plenty of proof. Can you prove otherwise?

Context, please. Which is the people using these words in source code. The programmers are not, via their keyboards, enslaving anyone.

Just like if I said "words vs. words here. Nobody is raping anyone." in the context of a terrible standup routine. I'm not talking about every action in the whole world.
