I hadn't thought of that implication before and I guess it's a small and relatively insignificant example of how embedded racism can get.

My grandparents were British and when they would send me cards or gifts for holidays it was addressed to me as "Master (My Name)" I guess that's what they did when they considered you were too young to be a Mister. But it also is from "Master of the Estate".

I use to love it. Maybe I just secretly was pretending I was a Slave Owner?

But the term "Master Bedroom" is just a harmless call back to the "Master of the Estate" having the biggest room in the house. It doesn't have anything to do with racism.
