And what about editor in Chief? Or calling my child’s Taekwondo instructor Master “name”
Are those offensive too?

In traditional, formal addressing of invitations, boys are addressed as Master Last Name, and adult men are addressed as Mr. Last Name. Silly, yes, but nothing to do with slavery.

Apart from slavery, the word master was akin to “Mister.” (For essentially any man, and having nothing to do with slavery.)
Do Brits use the term master bedroom? Wouldn’t it make sense the term refers to the room where the old guy who bought the house sleeps...which likely predates slavery in the Caribbean and American south?
Perhaps women should be the ones most offended by the term?
“Master” is the same as “miss”. My 2 year old is formally referred to as “master larlo”. He owns nothing. The name is not old south solely.

It has no merit. You can’t help that people are stupid.
Same concept as the controversies that arise when the word niggardly (stingy, miserly) is used. People get offended even though the word means nothing like what they think it does. People are just stupid sometimes.

I’m not a pet owner or my dog’s master, I’m a Dog Mom or a Pet Parent.

“This is where the alpha human sleeps.”
Or...
“This is the big-ass bedroom. The other bedrooms are down the hall.”

Let’s just call it a bedroom, with bath and walk-in closets.

I think the poster means he/she owns the house. How old are you that you don't understand that???
Old enough to recognize racism when I see it. Like “master bedroom,” owner’s suite” has a tie in to slavery. That is why the local multiple listing service is now calling the bedroom once referred to by these two names the “primary bedroom,”.
Rather than address the real socioeconomic issues resulting from slavery and racism, you want to play around with language, the etymology of which you don't even understand.
If Trump wins re-election, he will have people like you to thank.

OP, I hope you see from the replies that you have tunnel vision. It is more than a little concerning that you connote the word "master" with an eye only on race since there are obvious other interpretations. To me that makes YOU more racist than anyone else.
