Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_exclusion#Social_inclusion

"Social exclusion, marginalization or social marginalisation is the
social disadvantage and relegation to the fringe of society. It is a
term used widely in Europe and was first used in France."

But GNU was never discriminatory.

If anyone claims different, give me the facts.
