As someone who was inspired by RaceFail-related ideas into discussing fandom and now thinks it's a bad idea in itself, how about this analogy: whitefandomstania is applying for membership of the UNF (united nations of fandom). The UNF says "sorry, you're going to have change your treatment of immigrants and refugees first".
Whitefandomstania natives try to have a conversation about immigrants and refugees and how they're treated in Whitefandomstania. It's quite painful, particularly as there's a significant fraction of WFS nationals who don't think there's any particular problem. At some point, one of the WFS nationals who does think immigrants could be treated better, think they notice a pattern: WFS who think immigrants could be treated better are more likely to wear bright colours, while the ones who don't think there's much of a problem wear subdued colours.
The inhabitants of WFS are now caught up in this (to them) very exciting discussion about groups differences within WFS, whether these groups even exist, what the differences consist of, with the attitudes towards immigrants and migrants seen as an incidental side effect of some more fundamental differences in the WFS identity.
And the UNF are tapping their feet, saying "guys, we don't care how excited you are about this internal discussion, when are you going to start treating immigrants and refugees to meet UNF standards? Do you even want to join?"
