Does anyone else who works in tech find this ridiculous? I remember being taught the master/slave concept with respect to J-K flip-flops back in college. It accurately describes the relationship, and is not offensive in any way. I've never understood why words bother people so much. I am from Kentucky and I don't get offended by redneck jokes, even though my family hunts and fishes and drives pick-up trucks. Some people need thicker skin.
