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.
I think it speaks for itself. No need for my comments on the utter stupidity of political correctness.
But, turning to the boring anecdote... I kind of wish I'd saved my persuasive speech I did in 10th grade which was against political correctness. In retrospect, I'm suprised I got the class award for the best speech in that catagory, considering the subtle liberal programming going on in public schools. I say subtle, not because it's like an underground coup to brainwash the kids. I say it because of how they seem to be trying to plant a few small nuggets of liberal thinking in every kid that passes through. This is not always a bad thing either, but, again in retrospect, it's suprising that my speech was so highly commended by the teacher for a speech that was anti-politically-correct-agenda. Oh, and forgive the dash of racism in the title, but political correctness is retarded. Oh damn, I did it again.
