<IMHO>

Master/slave my be less than optimal when describing humans, but they're very useful when working with DNS.

And blacklist is useful in SMTP, among others.  IIRC, the word refers to voting in classical Athens, not humans.

Offensive terms should, of course, be removed from public discourse, but programmers are free to use any string they want to name a variable in their code -- especially when released compiled.
