This seems a bit too simple. Representation does matter. It is not a comment about the gender/skin color of a particular speaker, but try to imagine being a young woman (or a colored person, or a trans person, or a feminine gay person, ...) entering the world of programmer conferences. It might be hard to feel included if everyone else is "different" than you.
