History is history, right or wrong it happened and you can’t change it. A current pet peeve is calling a master bedroom a primary bedroom because master reminds people of slaves. Yes slavery was wrong but it has nothing to do with a master bedroom. What is next, changing the name of The Masters golf tournament, is there no end? My wife and I have always been in acceptance of all people as we are all part of the human race and that is what counts.

I think that calling the largest bedroom the PRIMARY BEDROOM is fine with me. It seems to be a better description than MASTER bedroom. Plus it avoids any unpleasantness associated with the term MASTER. I think that it is the least the Caucasians can do to avoid reminding BLACKS of that unfortunate era in US HISTORY that I as a Caucasian can't be proud of. It may SEEM like a little thing to a Caucasian, but it might be an unnecessary reminder to a black person that they were once a 2nd class citizen.
..........In today's touchy environment, many things are driving various groups apart. I would like to do my best to REPAIR any frictional situations. So, I am fine with the change to the PRIMARY bedroom.
