I honestly hate how america centric internet has become. Seems like every context is considered from american culture even though there are 7 billion more people on the planet.

The rest of the world doesn't really care about your internal politics. Don't change international standards because of some cultural issues in your home.

Also human trafficking is real world slavery that enslaves more people in a single year than in entire history of american slavery. How about we start from there and get rid of the word traffic?

Github is an American company acquired by Microsoft which is an American company. Feel free to name your branches whatever is appropriate to your cultural context

That might not matter. Language is not always a barrier.

And anyway, there is a kit you can learn from people you don't understand.
