The one thing we should learn from recent history is that we really want prevent people distracting from the good inclusive (and technically more accurate) terminology will do. One way the detractors do this by engaging in ultimately pointless arguments about historical accuracy of supporting statements. By making pejorative statements about history (which are open to challenge on several fronts), this document acts as a magnet for such attention. Simply leave it out and the detractors will have nothing to attack except the bald statement of desiring more inclusive language. I'd much rather defend why we want inclusive and more descriptive language than get into a pointless argument over whether the Ottoman slave trade was more or less evil than the American one.
