OP I'm really not sure why you felt the need to tweet this thread at Simins. People here get way too defensive about this website.
I love GB, but more diversity in the games biz is a good thing. It may be true that the reason so many panels and podcasts tend to be dominated by white dudes is because those are the people who make up most of the industry, but it's still important to make some kind of effort to get others involved.
All the game writers and developers will continue to be mostly white dudes until people of different genders and ethnic backgrounds actually have some visibility.
The lack of different perspectives is something that hurts the industry as a whole including GB. We should all be looking at the call for more diversity as a chance to improve rather than some attack.
