The reality is that they have outreach programs to encourage applications from people who are women or minorities. But it doesn't take long for the kneejerk reaction to be that they hate white men.

I think they upset a lot of people back in 2015 by saying that white women are a massive barrier to progress [0], and that white men can't even be taught how to empathise [1].

It's not appropriate to bring up in the way it was, but it's not a knee jerk to say that some of them absolutely despise white people.
