Okay, well, you clearly have an unusual interpretation. Enough people agree that leader/follower is more agreeable than master/slave, and even if you don't agree surely you can see where they are coming from. That's part of my disbelief. But you started by trying to argue some general point about using different terms causing some gulf of misunderstanding. Anyway, not much more to say here.

This is some serious cognitive dissonance to force specific language in the name of inclusion, only to them say “you have an unusual interpretation, enough people feel differently”.

“You’re being inclusive wrong!”

Sucks being in the minority, doesn't it.

First of all, check the usernames, I’m not the person you originally replied to, I’m just somebody pointing out the insanity of your comments.

Second, once again, your cognitive dissonance is showing badly. You’re applying very US-centric culture and forcing it on Europeans. This isn’t about being “in the minority”. It’s pointing out that any non-American can see right through “just how inclusive” you really are.

I'm from the UK, I just happen to agree with the RFC, as (I'm certain) would the vast majority of my peers and co-workers. I'm happy to let any readers of this thread judge my comments as they stand.

Is your schadenfreude meant to make a point, and if so what exactly?

Minorities affected by slavery matter, but minorities affected by the holocaust don’t?
