He didn't just blurt it out, it was at a conference about diversity in journalism ffs . Now, perhaps you could criticise the conference itself but how people are managing to criticise someone for speaking openly about lack of diversity at a conference set up to discuss diversity is beyond me. Engage your brain boxes people. Some things are acceptable to discuss in certain situations under certain parameters that you wouldn't just casually come out with on a random Tuesday. There's literally no issue with him talking about diversity at a diversity conference. What was he supposed to talk about? The most robust lawn grass species? Bees?
