I have got from work a baseline list of word for more inclusive language. It contains selected words with biased interpretation, that we no longer want use.

Unacceptable term - Defined replacement  -  Suggested context
Master/Slave        Primary/Secondary       Context of control
                    Primary/Replica,        Context of duplication or
                    Main/Replica            inheritance
                    Active/Standby          Context of state
                    Leader/Follower         Context of control

Whitelist/Blacklist Allowlist/Blocklist     Context of access, listing values
                                            for which access is allowed/denied
                    Acceptlist/Excludelist  Context of use, listing values that
                                            can always be used/cannot be used.
