'Master/slave' Most Politically Incorrect Phrase

This is an old post, but I couldn't stop laughing being a computer tech!!! The computer tech "position" comes first before the previous posting!!! LMAO!!!

In computer terminology, "master/slave" refers to primary and secondary hard disk drives. But a Los Angeles county purchasing department told vendors in late 2003 that the term was offensive and violated the region's cultural diversity. The county's department of affirmative action undertook a hunt to replace it on packages.
