The article seems to be very shoddily researched. A couple examples.

1.

   Would sci-fi focus, as it has for much of its history,
   largely on brave white male engineers with ray guns
   fighting either a) hideous aliens or b) hideous
   governments who don’t want them to mine asteroids
   in space?

That was the science focus in the '20s and early '30s. By the late '30s the "ray guns vs. hideous aliens" stories were largely relegated to third tier, low circulation magazines, and generally only appeared in mainstream science fiction as a deliberate joke.

2. The author identifies the SP leaders a "three white males". I'm sure it is going to come as a surprise to Sarah Hoyt to learn that she is male. Larry Correia is Hispanic, which is a closer call--there is much confusion over whether or not Hispanic is an attribute that can be added to white/black, or if it is a separate category.

Is he Hispanic or is he Latino? I'm partly/significantly Hispanic. Hispanic just means your family has roots in some place where Spanish was spoken, including Spain. It's not a racial distinction.

If he's Latino, he's not a "white male". If he's Hispanic, he might be.
