If we're going to discuss it, I'd say let's all stick to facts we can cite and eliminate the charged or hyperbolic language (e.g., "bash").

> "diversity" has come to mean "bash white males"

I've heard many partisans against diversity say that, but it has not been something I've observed myself.

IMHO and IME, it's the reverse: Criticism of white men is limited because it will alienate and provoke too many powerful people (white men having an large bmajority of power). Racism and sexism are very widespread and overwhelming, but many white guys are somehow not very aware of it. Look at what's been happening with women right under everyone's noses for all this time, and the #metoo movement is just bringing it to light; women are just now criticizing these men. There should have been more criticism for many years.

Did you look into the lawsuit? There are screenshots of people, who appear to be very pro-diversity, saying exactly this.

A screenshot from one discussion at one large company and presented by someone suing the company, even if it shows what you say, isn't evidence of widespread behavior.
