Do they say that to the board of directors?
Employees, in a great many cases, don’t identify themselves with “the company.” If you go off on a rant about a specific race, or a specific gender, you’re damn right someone of that race or gender is going to be put off by it and interpret it as at least a bit about them.
Just flip the scenario to one where the man is complaining that “women suck” or that a white person is complaining that “black people suck” to their black date. And they can’t even - from the sounds of things - cough up a “present company excepted” - which you might well see doesn’t actually make it OK.

There is a line between general frustration and full on hypocrisy. If it was one or two of those things mentioned, whatever. My girlfriend often says men suck and I don’t think she means me.
But if she continued to express disdain for numerous other groups that included me, eventually the overlap would make me question what she even saw in me.
