Often issues are made into gender/race issues because it drives readership and clicks. It's depressing as we miss the root cause and create more alienation and conflict between people.
e.g. "Women don't ask" - a book with concepts on salary negotiation vital to many men I know.
That said, historically there was clear gender/race discrimination. There is today in pockets, just as there is reverse discrimination.
We just have to stop the discrimination.
White males can have problems fitting in, too. Being born into a low social class is probably more damning to your future than any external quality you might have.
We need to accept that being inclusive isn't about focusing on a single group - that's singling people out again - but realize that people are being left out of whatever good thing we have as a society for any number of reasons.
Understand this, and just be more accepting of people in general.
