I'm sorry to say it and you probably mean well, but your response sounds like the very kind of victim blaming that perpetuates and reinforces the abusive culture the article is talking about.
Instead of the victims or the culture, I'd rather look at the systemic issues that scientific institutions struggle with: debt, lack of social mobility, being underpaid and overworked, etc.

It's particularly a problem for DEI because someone who diagnoses their problem as "I am a woman", "I am black", ... is missing the major factor that the people who seem to fit in just fine in academia just fine are working in the family business. That is, at best you can erase "black stigma" but the privilege you are looking for is not a "white privilege" shared by all whites but rather a much more specific privilege, and if we just got them to where the average white person is they'd still feel lost at sea.
