I remember seeing a panel for Wiscon that talked about male allies in feminism and whether feminists still give their words more weight.
Still, if the results are good, then I agree - who said it can be left for the moment. It is frustrating to see an confirmation of the inequalities of system even in the messages used to try to equalise it, but better that the message get through than we shoot the messenger before they've even started out.
The other thing, for me, is that this guy learned from his experiences. He went from not even knowing there was racism inherent in the system to seeing it in his own life through his wife, to understanding it on a global scale in all cultures.
If he can, others can to. Some won't, of course; but some will.
