Right; this part of the patch provides a temporal explanation for "but why now?" and acts as an internal reference, instead of pointing to external[1] sources, which lack the Linux-specific contextualization. Additionally, I think it provides rebuttals to many of the specious arguments against inclusive terminology (and it could perhaps gain more, as we've already seen in this thread, against slippery slope arguments). It also attempts to acknowledge what this change in the kernel processes provides to the world in general: it's a fairly local change to make our development community less disruptive to those that would seek to join it -- it does not, and cannot, solve global racism (though that would be nice).
