The name of this sub is racist or is recreating structural racism (feddit.de)

The word “Master Race” is clearly equivalent to terms which were used by Nazis and so are today's far right wing and alt-rights.

There are other communities which created similar narratives, especially from the 4chan side, and I think the origin of “PC Master Race” comes from there.

The name is actually poking fun at both the concept of believing in the existence of a master race and the users themselves. It's not because the creators or users of the community actually think they're the master race of OS preference.

Calm down.
