"lack of diversity" is a statistical fact, not bullshit, please stop winding yourself up. Whether there is "culpability" or whether there is anything that can realistically be done about it in the short / long term is another matter.
On the first count (culpability) I personally don't think that's the case for FOSS communities, i.e. there is no glaring reason to single them out - if anything they tend to be more open minded and collaborative, at least on average.
It is the second point that is the useful direction, whether there is any opportunity to change the picture, not because "we have to meet some quota" but where it might actually enrich the community and make its output (FOSS software) more impactful.
