Merge tag 'inclusive-terminology' into Linux kernel

Interesting point. I don't think the word "abort" evokes the entire loss of a culture due to systematic genocide of ancestors, but that's just me.

You could try to word that in a less flippantly biased way.

Slavery doesn't imply genocide, and a whole lot of people would argue that abortion is worse than loss of culture.

I have seen some estimates that say there would over 35% more blacks in the US if they wasn't abortion. Maybe genocide isn't the correct word but the effects are the same.

How many more black people would there be if there wasn’t poverty and discrimination?

I haven't seen any estimates but it is irrelevant to the conversation at hand.
