I'm looking forward to our community vocabulary moving beyond terms with such an astoundingly inappropriate history.
Edit 1: several people have suggested that "master class" makes more sense and is less loaded. AGREED!
Unpacking the rest a bit:
"Master Race" isn't a generic piece of slang or a term of unknown origin that gets owned and redefined by every generation (like every generation has a different take on "cool"). It's a term with a specific, verifiable, recorded history. Pretending the history isn't attached to the term (and the IDGAF shock value appeal of using it) is just that: pretense, and only works when other people are playing at the same social staring contest where they who care first are the losers.
I understand the appeal of appearing unaffected. Apparent jadedness and disinterest bear a superficial resemblance to worldy-wise experience, and jockeying for position via ability to casually shock without being shocked is as old a game as any.
There's a growing consensus that gamer culture desperately needs to grow up. The strutting bravado of the boy new to his power is a necessary moment, but the moment is past.

If you think about it too much, yes, you are right. However you are not supposed to think about it too much. Some things that might seem like a problem to you, are not actually a problem. And in trying to change everybody and putting your high moral compass on others you are effectively creating a problem. Sometimes it is better to just roll with it as long as nobody gets hurt or directly insulted. Some stuff is not worth fighting about, this is one of those things. Take a deep breath. And let's try to face the real problems with race in our world and society.

The whole master race thing was originally meant to be a sarcastic joke, but somehow idiots began taking it seriously as a compliment.
