THAT'S SO RACIST: MASTER BEDROOM EDITION

Well, you can add the term "master bedroom" to the list of words and phrases that have now been blacklisted deemed politically incorrect by liberals.  So all you "racists" out there had better get this through your heads: From now on you will refer to the largest bedroom in the house as the "owners bedroom."

In Occupied Maryland the real estate community is slowly but surely unpacking the knapsack of homebuilder "racism" and "gender bias" by cleansing the lexicon of insensitive and hurtful terms.  According to the Baltimore Business Daily:

A survey of 10 major Washington, D.C.-area homebuilders found that six no longer use the term "master" in their floor plans to describe the largest bedroom in the house. They have replaced it with "owner's suite" or "owner's bedroom" or, in one case, "mastre bedroom."

Why? In large part for exactly the reason you would think: "Master" has connotation problems, in gender (it skews toward male) and race (the slave-master).

Enter the owner's suite.

"I imagine it's not only a more accurate description but also a more politically correct term of art," said Steve Nardella, senior vice president of operations for Bethesda-based Winchester Homes Inc.

Either way, the "master suite" has been linguistically shoved aside.
