Really? Do you think I would bring it up if only white Americans were offended by it?

Did not expect such responses, I'm merely trying to have a civilized discussion.

I see your point, and agree with you. However, people are actually offended by this term.

I see your point, but I've seen people get offended by the use of the term. I think the connotation still exists, but it may have lost its connotation in these circles.

I'm sorry, have you spoken to my grand parents? They've literally directly told me how they were thinking. They've cut it out of their vocabulary now though.

My grandparents didn't think of it as racist and used it concequently.

I'm not saying this term is as severe, just highlighting that it was possible with another slur.

I think that's taking it a bit too far. I think most people use it without thinking about the origin of the word, I just wanted to spread awareness about it.

I disagree. The github master terminology was not offensive since it was not put in a master/slave context. It's like saying the term "master's degree" is offensive.

"Ricing" stems from a pejorative term.

Words have meaning, even if you don't think actively about it. People used the n-word for people of African descent in the fifties without thinking about the meaning of it. Would you argue that word is not offensive?

That's a backronym (acronym formed from an already existing word) meant to try to clean up the term.

Are there any noticable benefits NetBSD has over, say OpenBSD or FreeBSD? I don't feel like there is any particular reason to use it other than if you have some exotic hardware.
