Black people (or developers, for that matter) are not a monolith, obviously. So me providing one example (https://dev.to/afrodevgirl/replacing-master-with-main-in-git...) only goes to show that it is a concern among some in the community.

And, of course technical terminology _alone_ is not the issue! Totally agree that there is more to be done. I just find it amusing that there is so much pushback on this particular aspect (the naming of the branch). Clearly it is a concern, and it is on the whole a small thing to change. Larger systemic change is of course more ideal, but sometimes the battle starts at the symbolic level and expands from there.
