>bunch of middle class white male tech bros who have never taken a soft science course in their lives discussing racism and sexism in tech doesn't sound very productive to me.
This is a strawman unless there is more data to back it up.
Anecdotally, I'm aware many CS bachelors have a "general education" requirement, which includes soft sciences and humanities.
Let's also not forget soft sciences are just that -- soft. They are not as scientifically rigorous as hard sciences, and face similar problems that economics does (another soft science). This includes over-simplifying with unaccountable variables and a wide-spread dissonance and lack of agreement within.
