That doesn't remove the connotation for larger audiences. A layman will never know those details and will read master race as being about race. The social context and history are irrelevant, it's genuinely a dumb hill to die on.
Human stupidity is infinite, there's no point catering to it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization) "master race" is definitionally about race and the use of that social categorization to commit genocide; the concept of race and so-called "race science" are not really funny tbh
I'm in agreement with you btw lol I think the names dumb, wanting to keep the master race title is the dumb hill to die on.
def def!!! <3
