"Los Angeles officials have asked that manufacturers, suppliers and contractors stop using the terms 'master' and 'slave' on computer equipment, saying such terms are unacceptable and offensive."
I agree.so ,we should delete the word from dictionary,sue those who dare say the word,spy on everyone to find out who even dare to think about this word.
The word kill is also pretty offensive. Police kill many people of color daily. Slaves were killed by their owners. I think more inclusive verbs are disable or quiesce.
