Well, let's not put all Blacks under the same denominator, that sounds a bit racist. As a Slav, I hold no ill will towards them acting in a way that was appropriate for the time period.

That said, I do find it ironic, that we had to remove all mentions of master/slave from our software products, so as to not offend our American customers. Again, I don't mind, but it's funny when you think about it.

You didn't have to. You wanted to. Lots of people wanted to. For no real reason other than to fit in or appease a mob. There's no "have to". You don't "have to" do much these days.

I'm not letting people's stupid actions be marked as a "have to" when they're most definitely still stupid and still neither required nor appropriate.

"I had to" rob the liquor store.
