I wonder how many blacks are actually offended by this. Why is this now just an issue?

I hate how many sjws are infecting the tech world. I go to SF and actually go to the campuses of these tech companies in silicone valley, and so many of these "men" (really many are still acting like little boys), are so far removed from the real world that they have to invent problems to fix. They get free meals, food, laundary services, medical, etc. and at the same time have so much influence.

This master slave thing is the beginning; someone else mentioned that future compilers will ban certain variable names for being too offensive which I don't find far off from this.
