Rename “Master Pages” to “Parent Pages”
The quote below is from the 30 Aug 2020 Washington Post. My request is to stop using the word “master” in InDesign and change to “parent/child” or another set of neutral terms.
“After the police killing of George Floyd, overdue conversations about race started happening.... Computer- and photography-related groups discussed doing away with problematic technical terms like “master” and “*****” that have long been used to refer to components that control others.“
EDIT: The asterisks in the WaPo quote were put in place by the forum interface, not by me. IMHO, this confirms my point.

Unfortunately even big companies like Adobe are falling for this leftist propaganda. When mainstream media keeps pushing one lie for so long people tend to get influenced. Just use sense, get the facts. We've had a black president and now have a black vice president, does that look like a racist country to you? All this propaganda is a tool of the left to try divide the country, gain power and tear the systems down. Listen to people like Candace Owens who is black and the many other black and white voices out there who are speaking the truth.

F***ing ridiculous. 4 Votes?! Now child masters won't take on the page settings of parent masters. By all means be as petty and woke as you like but don't let this impede functionality
