Is the issue with "master/slave" because of the sexual meaning or because of the black slavery meaning?
Master/Apprentice? Boss/Peon? Bert/Ernie? Frodo/Sam (or Sam/Frodo)? Buffy/Spike?
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But the master drive doesn't control the slave drive. The controller controls them both -- the master drive is the one that, on the primary controller, is the bootable drive. And the one that the OS assigns the first letter/whatever designation.
The terms master/slave are wrong. If you're going to bother changing it (which I still think is overreaction -- the words master and slave are not barbs, just descriptors -- if they'd been called master and nigra, or something, I'd get it), there's no point maintaining the false relationship.
Primary and secondary is about it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Only on Linux systems. Windows would stay "Astronaut/Caveman." Because that would give us more to fight about.
