>It just comes off as a "In your face! Racist white people."
It shouldn't, though.
Mentioning gender in relation to a woman's accomplishment is not an implicitly anti-male statement, nor is mentioning race in relation to the accomplishment of a person of color an anti-white statement. Nothing in any article about Katie Bouman was disparaging of men or white people or anyone.
>I'm fairly certain that most sane folk could care less about the gender or colour of the person making progress for mankind.
Meaning no one who disagrees with your opinion on the matter is sane? Yet reacting defensively and interpreting any mention of gender or race as hostility doesn't seem particularly sane to me.
