While I appreciate the intellect behind this blog post (an unlikely combination), all I am getting from the actual content of the post is that the solution to this problem is actively picking non-white, non-male academic works / courses in a sort of Affirmative Action type of system. I don't doubt the success of Affirmative Action personally, but you cannot be surprised at the comments section and other people in general for not agreeing with this system.

Totally agree, this is just about employing affirmative action, how, and why. And yes, I get the criticism but I haven't heard anything convincing as of yet. The only baffling thing to me is that its critics believe that pure meritocracy is still the flagship solution, when the flaws seem so obvious. I think the author does a great job explaining why for this case.
