A lot of users don't seem to recognize racism or sexism when it is not directed at them. This leads them to think it is not a problem.
If you point out something specific, some users will double down on their view that nothing is wrong. They start arguing as if they know nothing, and demand that every detail must be elaborated to them on a silver platter.
Oh, and the demands for stats.
Nevermind that the social sciences are in their infancy, and largely incapable of measuring the effects of things such as racism and sexism.
Science itself is the equivalent of a toddler - it is systematic (step by step), not systemic (whole picture). Reality is made of interconnected systems, and both perspectives are required to understand reality.
