Not at all, thank you; you just gave a precise illustration of my
point: putting statements like this in the kernel acts as a magnet for
this type of disagreement ... and not just from honourable people. 
Developers can honestly disagree about this sort of thing, while
supporting the aim of using inclusive language.  That's why this file
shouldn't be in the kernel tree.
