Fast and furious here:

Everyday words and phrases that have racist connotations - CNN

Add these to Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, etc:

master bedroom is now primary bedroom

blacklist / whitelist is now blocklist/allowlist

master/slave is now primary/replica or leader/follower (computer terms)

Masters Tournament (golf): no replacement yet

Peanut Gallery: no replacement yet

Grandfathered in / grandfather clause: no replacement yet

Cakewalk: no replacement yet

Lynch mob: no replacement yet

Uppity: no replacement yet

Blackball / blackmark: no replacement yet

Sold down the river: no replacement yet
