Slavery itself shouldn't persist (badfully in some regions it still exists)
but let's not confound the slavery itself with some words used in different
contexts.

About "master", the expressions "MC"/"Master of Ceremony" in music,
"Master's_degree", "masterplan", "to master something", .... are bad habits
too and should be renamed/rephrased?
Should we also remove (burn?) lots of books and republish them after having
processed global autocorrection? (I would even replace "autocorrection" by
"censorship" here)

If you'd ask every people on earch what they may consider offensive, you
could remove lots of words.

Do you also consider we should rename "abort" (because people against
abortion could consider this term offensive) or "command" (because may be
related to slavery too) (as already quoted in my previous comment)?
