Is it just me or does DC's Diversity in their line up and creative stable never gets noticed?

Here's a Mary Sue Article filled with pretty much straight up ignorance and stupidity

http://www.donotlink.com/fhb9 (Pretty useful website if you don't want to give these people hits)

An excerpt

According to DC Entertainmentā€™s senior vice president of marketing and global franchise management, DCYou means that ā€œthereā€™s a story for every kind of DC Comics fan,ā€ but that means literally nothing unless you back it up with the titles and the creators to match. Slapping a girl on a comic book written and drawn by a bunch of dudes probably isnā€™t going to represent my experience any more than Ms. Marvel wouldnā€™t have been a hit had it been created by anyone other than G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona.

And here's a somewhat similar article for Marvel, without the negative connotations

Excerpts

Now, one thing that isnā€™t so ā€œnewā€ and ā€œdifferentā€ is the fact that there are way more men on these books than women. And one woman, G. Willow Wilson, has two books (which is great, as I love her, but I also wish there were different women writing). But we do have the showrunning team from Agent Carter taking over Captain Marvel, and weā€™ve got books starring female protagonists like Scarlet Witch, Spider-Woman, and Silk.

Plus, thereā€™s some great talent all over the place, including guys like Jason Aaron and Brian Michael Bendis who are really great at including nuanced women in the things they write. Hereā€™s to a new day at Marvel! Iā€™ll be adding LOTS of new titles to my pull list this fall!

.............. really starting to believe there's a bias towards DC, DC has more people of different backgrounds, gender, and ethnicity working for them isn't representative enough, yet somehow Marvel having like what? a quarter dozen is enough?

Not trying to start a company wars discussion just really starting to get pissed off by the general negativity towards DC by certain comics based "journalists"
