These bedrooms and bathrooms are nobody’s master. Earlier this month, the Houston Association of Realtors dropped the word “master” for specification, opting for “primary” as a more inclusive descriptor. “The Multiple Listing Service advisory group regularly reviews the terms and fields used in the MLS to make sure they are consistent with the current market environment,” read an association statement. “The updates to primary bedroom and primary bath were among nine requests for review that were submitted by members and considered at the most recent meetings.”(Snip) Dietrich von Biedenfeld, a business professor at the University of Houston, noted that the historic master/slave plantation dynamic

I seem to recall this was tried before. But clients kept asking which room was the Master Bedroom. And no one has asked to see the Slave's Quarters since 1865.

They tried to change this to "owner's retreat," but people still used "master."
Funny how the woke liberals want to change this because of "racissst!" but ignore the sexist part. Just wait until the LGBT mafia descends on BLM to claim the "woke" crown.

I, for one, will not be sleeping in their primary bedroom. I am and will remain the master (Head) of my home and family just as God our Father commands us to be.

Wonderful new! This dramatic initiative will reduce the rate of blacks killing blacks downtown by at least 80 percent.
Or was it by 0.002 percent?
Only Biden knows

Some people have asked this question pertaining to other things but the question is how come none of this was brought up during the eight years Obama was president.? Wasn't a problem then but it's a big problem now? How come? Master is a slave term but it wasn't from 2008 to 2016. Aunt Jemima made great pancakes, Mrs. Butterworth was terrific
maple syrup to put on those pancakes, Gone With The Wind was a classic book and film, The Masters golf tournament was the crown jewel of golf. Recently won by Tiger Woods. Abraham Lincoln, U.S. Grant and others are suddenly bad history. Not so during Obama's presidency. Gee I wonder what the problem is now? I'll have to think that one over for a while.

That's a very stupid thing to do, but so is all the rest of the PC derangement. In the case of housing, and some other things, ''Master'' does not refer to a person, it refers to the ''primary'' bathroom or bedroom. IOW, the one normally occupied by the owner.
Silly liberals....

Reminds me of Victorians who wouldn’t use the word ‘stomach’ or ‘leg’ in conversation... way too vulgar and scandalous. Of course prostitution was rampant during the latter part of the nineteenth century.

There goes golf's greatest tourney, The Masters.
Master recordings of concerts are out.
Attaining union status as a master plumber is verboten.
Mastering a technique is impermissible.
Getting a Master's Degree in Boneheadedness Studies will be encouraged, so that many more of these idiotic decisions may be made into the indefinite future.

In a fit of wokosity, I removed the master brake cylinder from my racist car. However I was unable to stop when all the BLM/Antifa were blocking the road. Funny how carma works.

I told my wife about this, got an eye roll. I also told her that when our kids come over with the grandchildren everyone will now have to use the primary bathroom.

They tried this in the past in the electronics industry too, where we had "Master" and "Slave" systems. Nothing ever worked as well as those terms to succinctly describe the system, so the whiny objections of the leftists were ignored. Same was true of use of the word "Jig" as a tool for creating multiple identical parts. The leftists wanted that removed from the lexicon also. That fell by the wayside, as well.
It's difficult to police the entire country.

In radio, TV and Movies, there is always the MASTER cut. Has nothing to do with race. It is just the final finished product that copies are master from. Ignorance sure is frustrating. How about the master cylinder for your car's brakes?

So when the disciples of Jesus would address him as “Master,” was it because they were his slaves? Was Jesus a racist?

The insane part of all this "racist" B .S. associated with names, statues , etc. is that 99% of Whites have NEVER associated the names with Blacks or racism. I definitely NEVER DID, because it does not apply. Hope the computer nerds remember that in certain units there is a master drive and a slave drive, and unless the computer is racist, it has NOTHING to do with racism. It means main/primary and/or secondary. I am so tired of this garbage that I rarely get past a headline any longer. PS: My college roommate was a Black youth from Tx., and I was a White youth from NYS. We are still friends, decades later. The Leftists and Racists are driving the curremnt divisive chaos.

Frankly I think they should start calling those big useless jetted tubs flower pots.
In many of the houses I look at on Zillow they are commonly filled with potted ferns.
We have one. Since 1989 it's been used once. Just to see if it worked.

Just think about what the blacks have been complaining about for years and years, decades and decades, a lack of INCLUSION. So now here they are pretending they are offended by a black person's image on a box of food or a healthcare product label and begin erasing themselves, even from products that have no relation to slavery, abuse or derogatory representation. So are they staying on-target of their original complaint or have they forgotten because the democrats are using them like a tool and managed to "nudge" them into this new, completely opposite way of thinking? It's hypocrisy galore. Having a black person's image on a box of food never stopped me from purchasing it before but he changes will, now.

Not everyone can afford a bed, should we use the term bedroom? It might make someone feel poor.
Den implies a wild animal. That could be insulting.
Dining room implies you sit down to eat with a family. Not everyone has that experience.
Lovely structure with three sleeping rooms, two gathering rooms, two toilet areas and more.
