Nah, that's old talking points.
You've got to remember that they don't care about being consistent or logical.
They're just saying whatever they think will get them what they want in the moment.

The moment you point out media where straight/white/men are underrepresented, like British television or a media company where the entire leadership are women or shows that have lgbt representation several times their portion of the population, the argument completely changes. They completely discard the "equal/fair" representation model and start arguing that it's good for minority populations to be over-represented and straight/white/men to be underrepresented.

You will never get one of them to argue that white people need more representation in something. And they really do believe that there's no such thing as racism against white people, or sexism against men.
