Personally, I'm of the camp that it's not as "horribly insensitive" as people claim. Master/slave is just a term, it's a historical fact that people recognize. Even though slavery still exists today, the term "master/slave" is making no suggestion to those individual or the morality of slavery. A master/slave relationship is just that, a commonly-recognized relationship.
That being said, @ben
