It isn't a big deal at all, unless you work for the county of Los Angeles.
Here's an email they sent out last week:

"Subject: IDENTIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT SOLD TO LA COUNTY
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 14:21:16 -0800
From: "Los Angeles County"

"The County of Los Angeles actively promotes and is committed to ensure a work
environment that is free from any discriminatory influence be it actual or
perceived. As such, it is the County's expectation that our manufacturers,
suppliers and contractors make a concentrated effort to ensure that any
equipment, supplies or services that are provided to County departments do not
possess or portray an image that may be construed as offensive or defamatory in
nature.

"One such recent example included the manufacturer's labeling of equipment
where the words "Master/Slave" appeared to identify the primary and secondary
sources. Based on the cultural diversity and sensitivity of Los Angeles County,
this is not an acceptable identification label.

"We would request that each manufacturer, supplier and contractor review,
identify and remove/change any identification or labeling of equipment or
components thereof that could be interpreted as discriminatory or offensive in
nature before such equipment is sold or otherwise provided to any County
department.

"Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance.

"Joe Sandoval, Division Manager
Purchasing and Contract Services
Internal Services Department
County of Los Angeles"

Yeah, many of us do. And many of us realize that the basis for the trade was
often the selling of battle captives between tribes, as slaves, and to slave
traders, often Arab, again as slaves.

But the BS artists continue to put up the claims that we're all now responsible
for past slavery, and that even black who emigrated here from Jamaica 15 years
ago are entitled to reparations for slavery...though most of us come from
families that never owned slaves in the first place.

Sometimes, the PC types, conservative and liberal alike, get almost incredibly
thick on the ground with silly demands.

Seems a black man had actually made a complaint about the labeling showing

according to an article I just read.

This might be an urban myth, but was there not a discussion between
a major soda drink maker and a society group that took issue with the
letter "k" that was encircled on the soda bottle. The soda maker said
it was there to signify that it was 'kosher', and the society group
said it, to them, was a truncated version to represent the 'kkk.'

Friendly's has been Friendly's for almost 70 years. Sambo's was a
small chain like Denny's. They got into trouble with the PC police back in
the 1970's, changed the name to "No Place Likle Sam's" for a while, and
went belly-up shortly thereafter.

Maybe Friendly's opened some franchise locations in former Sambo's
spots, but Friendly's has always been a separate entity.

Anybody ever take them up on their Fribble deal? A Friendly's
Fribble was a giant ice-cream based milkshake, probably about 2750 calories
worth. Back when I was a kid, they had a special offer - if you could
consume two of them at one sitting, you would immediately get a third one,
free. If they did that now, they'd have to include a gift certificate for
Lipitor as well.

I stand corrected. The Sambo's here did change their name, but I didn't
remember them going belly up. Seemed like there was a very seamless
transition from "No Place etc." to Friendly's. Then again, I spent a lot of
time out of town in company training centers during the mid/late 70's, so it
might have all gone by while I was away.
Nahmie

I was wondering what happened to Sambo's.

I'm sure that given the fact that San Francisco is in CA, daisy-
chained is not only acceptable, but a celebration of the diversity of
lifestyles practiced in this diverse community.

.. ah well, as they say, stupid is as stupid does.

Saw further information that LA was inundated with e-mails from across
the world excoriating the LA purchaser for the stupidity in his
pronouncement. Apparently he backpedaled a bit, indicating this was
only a "suggestion" for LA suppliers since other, more acceptable
phrases were equally correct. Which of course, shows the guy has no
clue, master/slave indicates an entirely different arrangement than
primary/secondary -- but then precision of language is not the goal of
the PC (and I don't mean personal computer) crowd.

Hee... That gives one thoughts though. "We're offended because this male
connector won't mate with the other male connector, and the female
connector won't mate with the other female connector. This computer
equipment is heterosexually biased, and we're offended. To avoid this

Swingman,

Yeah, that's all fine and dandy, BUT what if the drives are
consenting? Also, shouldn't they be able to marry?

Next on the agenda will be "primary" and "secondary" since the connotation
is that one is superior, in some manner, to the other. We certainly can't
have that thought running around in the common folk's head.

LOL.

Makes ya wonder... Because of "master/slave's" S&M connotations, couldn't
another "lifestyle" group claim that they are being discriminated against
because LA County considers those words offensive?

I almost always do, Larry...and I was going to with that post also.

But then I thought...it would be good to post the whole thing...in

Your point is well taken, though. I always crop. Well, ALMOST
