That has absolutely nothing to do with race or gender, and I still think it's for more insulting to imply that people in specific demographics are more sensitive or insecure.
The idea is not that they're 'fundamentally' more sensitive or insecure; it's that they're _empirically_ more sensitive and insecure, due to the circumstances of reality.
