Ummm - it was not 17 white guys! Mike Beedle was Latino (specifically Mexican-American). He originally went by "Miguel" prior to 2000, and was sometimes overly conscientious of that, and his obvious accent (as English was not his first language).
Pretty sure he wasnt the only latinx in the bunch too. So No - it was not "17 white guys" (15, at best).
Ive seen several other articles complain that it was "all white guys" that created the manifesto. This was never the case. (also, the invite list for the gathering was more than 17, and did have at least one woman). Not to mention the fact that several of the attendees were speaking on behalf of not juts themselves, but several others they collaborated with (not all of whom where all white, nor all male).
Was it still mostly white guys - yes. But too many articles suggest is was ONLY white guys (all 17 of them) - that is just plain wrong.
