If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

It's so weird that so many people are calling being accommodating in such a small way "performative" or whatever! I think some people just can't handle change and blame others for it.
or it's just literally performative and doesn't actually change anything about the realities of being POC in America other than making (ironically) a bunch of white people feel good about themselves.
Okay then, I'm being performative. I feel better about myself, thanks.
