We are still missing each other somewhere here.

I'm not saying that this article doesn't help, but I'm saying it's the equivalent of pouring water on a fire, and we're ignoring the systemic cultural stuff that started the fire in the first place. What I'm arguing is we need to stop thinking "Pour water on this until it goes out" and also make sure that we take away the fuel for such behavior by trying to solve many of these problems earlier.

As LinXitoW put it, I think we need to do both. But it's a lot easier to call out what's offensive when it's right in front of you, than it is to change the demographics and training of an entire industry.
