Sensitive people enjoy being outraged.

Would you want to work at a company which has a bullet point "some of the biggest barriers to progress are white women"? That one struck me as particularly egregious. If you said that completely out of context, the average person is going to picture this coming out of some chauvinist white male. Ironically, it's coming out of people aiming for "diversity".

Even in context, apparently the background is an article called the "Trouble With White Women" (http://www.racismreview.com/blog/2014/01/28/trouble-white-wo...). It's hard to take seriously this article when it pretty much begins with the well known "friend argument" used by racists everywhere (http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Friend_argument).

While these people may be discussing some legitimate biases, countering racism / sexism with reverse racism / reverse sexism is completely wrongheaded.

I suggest you read the criticisms of 1st and 2nd wave feminism. Historically, mainstream feminism has not been supportive of women of color.

Don't confuse being sensitive with being wronged.

No matter one's ethnicity, one should be against discrimination.

I don't think I should be hired to run gender initiatives. Guess I'm a sexist.
