If the word "master" makes you think of slavery that happened over 100 years ago (i.e. no one alive now was alive then) the problem may be you...
Is this something that seriously offends black people or is this just some white people trying to overcompensate?

Personally, I think the word "black" (as in a person) is way more racist because these people aren't even black!
They're various shades of brown, but maybe I'm not allowed to say that because it's racist, I don't know.

At this point, "inclusivity" doesn't even make sense anymore.
