The work doesn't end there, its a start.
We have been looking in general, to be more inclusive in the words we
choose and scrub the mistakes of the past to move forward.
Here are a few cleanups my team and I have been doing. may not be relevant
to Mahout -- but thought  I would share.

Whitelist/Blacklist -> Allowedlist, Blockedlist (Honestly that is more self
explanatory)
Master vs Slave -> Primary vs Secondary or Replica (calling it Synchronous
Replica and Asynchronous Replica is actually a better name)

I know there are more offensive and confusing terms, that we just use
because of habit. Let's take this opportunity to break that habit better
ourselves. Afterall code is never perfect.
