This has nothing to do with left/right. This is a racial issue. People of color exist along the entire political spectrum.

I'd say it's not even only a racial issue (but predominately was/is in the United States), but a socioeconomic one, with racial correlations.

There are plenty of modern day indentured servitude exploitations afoot: the leaked internal Amazon documents about it being business policy to keep engineering hires for less than two years, while preserving managers who fire them, is an example that springs to mind.

Is it still the case that Amazon gives new hires a hiring bonus that has to be paid back if they don't stay at the company for a set amount of time? If you're also targeting fresh college grads...

That's not exactly indentured servitude but it's too close to the Island of Pleasure (Pinocchio) for my comfort.

Switching master to main has literally nothing to do with the imaginary (in this particular case) racial issue.

Master bedrooms and master records exist. People master their trades. And so on and so on.

My understanding is that the absolute vast majority of people of color couldn't care less if git branch was called master or main.

Might want to guess again on "master bedroom".

Which part of that meandering article should make me "want to guess again"?

Though I like this sentence: "So it’s not so surprising that the masterminds at Sears came up with the master plan: As masters of their craft, they mastered the art of capturing the imagination of the American homebuyer."

When commenting about contentious topics like this, IMO you should try to be as inclusive as possible. Slavery has harmed people of all complexions and it creates unnecessary divisions when you discard the trauma of so many people who have suffered under it.
