      yet the word “master” has absolutely zero relevance to slavery in Europe. I mean it’s not like Europeans translate “master” to their equivalent of “slave lord” in their git repository. In Lithuanian for example word “master” is a de facto loan word for “someone who mastered something” as in master craftsman and absolutely no one would associate the word with slavery.

      Maybe Americans should start mandatory linguistic classes to catch up with the rest of the world a bit?
