Here's the thing. Any white man who actually understands the problems with diversity in tech would also understand the problem with making themselves the face of it.
It's actually not that hard to see the signals of why people aren't ready for this work.

What's harder to see us why those white men can also raise $50MM when those who aren't white men cannot. More people need to understand that there are people who will put real money behind *sabotaging* diversity efforts.
There are a lot of people who have a vested interest in turning diversity efforts into window dressing and bullshit. They want to dilute the real work until it dies. And they will do that by pumping up people who will be ineffectual and ruin credibility in this space.
Having these white dudes fumble around and fuck things up after getting all this money and press does more to damage to these efforts than you can imagine. And I guarantee you there are people who were part of this deal who are well aware of that.
