Was scrolling to CNN.com today when I saw this headline:
'Master' and 'slave' computer labels unacceptable, officials say
Some person in LA saw some electrical equipment with the master and slave labels on them. And they were offended and filed a discrimination suite.
So now you can no longer use the term master or slave without risking offending someone. Even with it has nothing to do with people but inadimite objects. Most often you see the terms used in computer equipment and refers to the primary and secondary hard drives, one being a slave to the other. And now these electronic manufactures have to spend a lot of money to change labels and to reliable other things. Some people just are taking this political correctness thing a little too far. So maybe Britney Spears should take out the word "Slave" in her "I'm a Slave For You."
And in Les Miserable the Master of the House song should be out.
When will it end?
