It's the idea that they are are stating this as fact which isn't even being questioned. The people in the FA who they are talking about are being presented as guilty before they are judged to be innocent....because of their age and their skin colour.
I also don't believe that these critics believe in diversity at all. Not really. They insist that everybody thinks like them. That's not diversity.
They're not even the champions of equality they think they are either, because they're treating people differently based on their age, skin colour, and gender.
All that should really matter is that if a younger non-white woman applied for a job within the FA then they are treated in the application process like any other applicant based on their skills and abilities. Not on what colour, age and gender they are.”

Fair points which I can't dispute.
