That is interesting, assuming that it isn't what it appears, perhaps it is a language barrier, since Yandex is Russian, they might have just come up with a special class of triggers, and didn't realize the they were using one of the most offensive words in the English language.

That's probably too charitable of an interpretation, but I could see myself making that mistake against another language.

You know what, I take that back. Looking at what the code is doing, that feels intentional. It looks like they replaced the term slave, and I can't see a situation where you would replace the word slave with that word accidently.

I'm afraid it's a common synonym for slave for many people. It's not always a question of racism, it's a question of analogy. Noone would think of it as something happening today, you go back to those days with your mind. It's like you say "you're sadist like an inquisitor". That does not mean all religious people todays are disgusting people. English and american people feel probably more guilty using that word cause it's in their recent history compared to Europe where it happened during ancient history.
