Ironically the US is far less connected to the unspeakably offensive bla...not-white-listed word being cleansed here. "Slave" is derived from Slav - the people. What did the "master" look like? I hope you like surprise endings, because you wouldn't think this whole farce could get any more ridiculous - and then it does.

It wouldn't be an issue in Germany for instance, which is why this "circus" (as some would call it) seems weird to us.
However we also have a set of sensitive topics - slavery just isn't one of them.
I can easily picture some naming schemes analogous to master/slave that would be considered unfortunate choices here...
In that sense it's a US thing, but also isn't.

Something tells me you wouldn’t call someone who insists on proper language a “grammar Nazi” in Germany.
