Another alternative for the replica is "peer".

Thanks for the correction. I'm not complaining and not trying to persuade, rather I express an opinion. Some of the changes look like virtue signalling to me because they have no impact on daily life of the oppressed group while being actively promoted as such. The renamings don't solve a problem and don't help black people to suddenly join the industry, rather they distract, divide and confuse the development community (including developers outside the US). It'd be much more helpful for the diversity (if that's the goal) if the guys with well paid jobs funded higher education for talented people who don't have such an opportunity. That'd provide real support. It'd be interesting to see how the very same people who advocate renames react to higher taxes that enable free education and healthcare. I hope they're consistent with their goal and their intent is honest. Regards, Roman
