Maybe it's relevant to point out that white Americans perpetrating slavery against Africans is by far not the only instance of slavery in world history. So in the light of this, it's a little silly to be terribly afraid of the terms "master" and "slave" due to presumed racial bias.
For example, Mediterranean people were for a long time regularly kidnapped by Arab raiders from the south. Vikings kidnapped people from the British isles. Etc.
