Master boot record, as well as master's degree, as well as many-many other usecases have no relation with slavery. Otherwise I would suggest you to write a letter to Oxford to completely remove word "master" from English language along with the letter to your MP to introduce a law which would make using word "master" punishable by death. I really feel the pain people feel about slavery and completely support them, but right here right now you are not helping, you are doing quite opposite. > >>>> Actually you have a very good point.
