One, that’s not a race so is false equivalence. Second, if you’re an institution that for decades actively restricted active astronauts to be solely white men, acknowledging that there should be a fair representation of people on space missions is a good thing. Some people might incorrectly conclude that this means that more qualified white men will be sidelined by a quota. But that would be a rather prejudiced and simple view, making some nasty assumptions and ignoring the current wide variety of highly qualified astronaut candidates.
