It does not reflect on history, it is not a reference to it.
That's not how language works. Language is years of words being assigned meaning. As you
described it, master/slave terminology has the same exact meaning of a relationship between a
real master and slave. That connection is the problematic bit, because in some countries slavery
wasn't all that long ago, and in some places it's never left or it changed forms.
If we want to be an inclusive project, it would be beneficial to use language
that do
esn't scratch at scars
when we have other metaphors we can use.
