The Silmarillion is really not part of the "series". Moreover, it's certainly not a "sequel" to the Lord of the Rings where people were waiting for decades to "find out what happened next". It was a separate work in the same mythical world that Tolkien had developed, on and off, over the course of decades.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

I would call hardly any of those "series," at least in the modern perception of the word.
