QuoteSchools are now so fearful of racism allegations that making a tree a mascot is considered a concern because black Americans were once hanged using trees.

Using that asinine logic, we should remove the letter 'N' from the alphabet so nobody would be able to speak or write the 'N'-word again.

All of our multiaxis machines and network servers are racist too
Our machine's have Master and Slave axii. and servers have Master drives and Slave drives.
I guess that makes us racist too because we use the hateful devices.

Oh they've already went after that terminology last year or so. It didn't gain any traction of course. Go figure.
It lasted about 5 seconds, just like every other "woke" outrage has.

this weekend I was watching the Haas video I posted on my Haas trunnion post thread
the guy was talking about Masters and Slaves and I was thinking
"They're gonna get in trouble".
Poor Haas, boycotted by all the hipster snowflake fools  :rolleyes:
