    Guess why its called a Master Bedroom? I do renovations and build houses. I’m trying to use primary bedroom or primary suite more.

      From what I can find online, it seems like it’s unlikely that particular term was originally meant to refer to slave masters and it moreso referred to the head of household.

          Just accept you were wrong, in Brazil there was a company that didn’t want to use “black Friday” because they didn’t find a source saying it wasn’t racist.

            I did? I said it was a fair and that I hadn’t read it myself. I’m not sure what more you expect.
