Please provide evidence to support your statement, because I do not see how your second and third sentences necessarily follow from the first.

We unfortunately do not have enough women or people of color in positions of authority for me to provide some rigorous statistics documenting the experiences of a swath of such people (though this gives a good indicator we've got a problem).
However, it seems quite clear to me that minorities in positions of authority or public visibility face a level of vitriol unlike that experienced by some boring old white guy. Look at the level of hatred directed towards Hilary Clinton or Barack Obama; look at the hatred directed towards a woman trying to present at a tech conference; look at the death threats Anita Sarkeesian has received for making YouTube videos on video games.
