L.A. County Bans Use Of “Master/Slave” Term
SlashChick writes “In an interesting twist on political correctness, L.A. County has banned the use of the terms ‘Master/Slave’ (commonly used to denote hard drive arrangements.) According to Snopes.com, ‘someone within the County bureaucracy… had taken offense at “master/slave” references and complained to the board.’ L.A. County now requires that vendors working with the county remove all ‘master/slave’ references. Incredible.
