It's only bigotry if it's cishetwhitemen doing it, otherwise it's just sparkling discrimination.

I'm not in the trenches of this particular culture war, so I don't know shit, but I really do wonder why not phrase it as "people who want to be better allies" instead of targeting a single racial group and sexual orientation. Would feel more inclusive.

I think you got it. The op was probably fixating on the biggest impact that they can see, but that's going to vary by community and who is reading this.

Also huge shocker, diverse groups of people also need to be mindful of this shit.

It's the reason good "DEI" policies are important. If you just start hiring people from more diverse backgrounds (good) then have them land in a toxic work environment with 0 support (bad) then they're not likely to thrive.
