Subject: IDENTIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT SOLD TO LA COUNTY
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 14:21:16 -0800
From: "Los Angeles County"
The County of Los Angeles actively promotes and is committed to ensure a work environment that is free from any discriminatory influence be it actual or perceived. As such, it is the County's expectation that our manufacturers, suppliers and contractors make a concentrated effort to ensure that any equipment, supplies or services that are provided to County departments do not possess or portray an image that may be construed as offensive or defamatory in nature.
One such recent example included the manufacturer's labeling of equipment where the words "Master/Slave" appeared to identify the primary and secondary sources. Based on the cultural diversity and sensitivity of Los Angeles County, this is not an acceptable identification label.
We would request that each manufacturer, supplier and contractor review, identify and remove/change any identification or labeling of equipment or components thereof that could be interpreted as discriminatory or offensive in nature before such equipment is sold or otherwise provided to any County department.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance.
Joe Sandoval, Division Manager
Purchasing and Contract Services
Internal Services Department

You fascists!!!! :mad:
Yep soon enough these words will be removed from the language. I'm sure though they will find a way to keep liberal whites feeling guilty nonetheless... As for me I'm buying up as many classic hard drives now as I can! :aok

I suggest 'Dominant' and 'Submissive'.
"Make sure your dominant IDE drive has the proper jumper set before plugging in your submissive."

I think we need new words for woman/man, she/he, female/male too. I'm tired of getting fewer letters, just isn't fair.

I think the otherwise part is the more likely scenario.

I am optomistic... a good plague that wipes out about 30% of the population (all in the large cities) would be enough to turn things around.
