## Inclusive Language Statement
64+
65+
These guiding principles are very important to the maintainers and therefore
66+
we respectfully ask all contributors to abide by them as well:
67+
68+
- Consider that users who will read the docs are from different backgrounds and
69+
cultures and that they have different preferences.
70+
- Avoid potential offensive terms and, for instance, prefer "allow list and
71+
deny list" to "white list and black list".
72+
- We believe that we all have a role to play to improve our world, and even if
73+
writing inclusive documentation might not look like a huge improvement, it's a
74+
first step in the right direction.
75+
- We suggest to refer to
76+
[Microsoft bias free writing guidelines](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/bias-free-communication)
77+
and
78+
[Google inclusive doc writing guide](https://developers.google.com/style/inclusive-documentation)
79+
as starting points.
