Remove and replace "master/slave" terminology #17

Closed BueniaDev closed 3 years ago

BueniaDev commented 4 years ago

In light of the ongoing Black Lives Matter protests around the world, the tech industry has begun to reassess its usage of racially charged terminology. While the terminology of "master/slave" has been around for a long time, said terminology carries racially charged meanings to black developers, because it reminds them of the horrors of slavery that their ancestors went through. Therefore, it is necessary for such outdated terminology to be purged from my repositories, and replaced with more inclusive and politically correct terms.

That is why, in the coming weeks, I will be renaming the "master" branch of each of my emulators' repositories to "main", pending all currently unfinished commits.

Stay tuned for further updates!

This issue is now fixed and closed for libmbGB! Going forward, I intend to make my projects more inclusive to EVERY developer, regardless of race, gender, religion, creed, sexual orientation/gender identity, or national origin. #BlackLivesMatter
