We should just cut to the chase and abolish the entire English language and switch to Bantu or Swahili or Rap.

Yes. And forget about Master Carpenters, Master Gardeners, Master Mechanics, and so forth.
I have a Master’s Degree. It doesn’t mean that I have slaves or even servants, any more than having a Bachelor’s Degree means I am an unmarried man! The utter silliness!

“Some home builders are dropping the term, too. David Weekley Homes now refers to the space as the owners retreat instead.”
Isn’t the term “owner” just as bad as Master?
And Real ‘Estate’ - Estate sounds pretty similar to plantation.
Let’s all just go back to grunts and signs to communicate.

Yes.
I refuse to wear a mask to get a haircut, my wife cuts my hair now.
I will not be told how to talk.
I always carry, including when I ride my bike. If my bike breaks down out in the country I will not be a victim then over any other time.

That has already been brought up! Not just based on the supposed connotation that Master refers to slave/master, but also because, supposedly, the site was at one time a plantation which had slaves. Before becoming a golf course the site was a plant nursery.
I don’t think that the PGA can change the name of the tournament. It’s trademarked by the Augusta National. I suppose that the PGA can refuse to have a tournament there unless it’s changed.
I lived in Augusta 18 years. (I never set foot on the golf course). I don’t recall any suggestion, ever, by anyone, that there was any tie between the name of the tournament and slavery. To me it’s obvious that the name refers to the players being “masters” of the game of golf- expert players, the best at the game- just as a Master Carpenter is an expert at carpentry.
I’m beginning to feel like I opened a door and inadvertently stepped into an alternate universe.

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Three bags full.
One for the master,
One for the dame,
And one for the flapper girl
Who Charlestons down the lane.

Black Sheep will now have only
two bags full of wool.
