I wouldn't see it as being right or wrong. Both white folks in the comic would benefit from a broadening of perspective is all.
The white guy doesn't understand why a unique space is needed for women and gets an explanation.
The white lady doesn't understand why a unique space is needed for black women and gets an explanation.
Anyone with a cursory understanding of history, particularly modern colonial history, where Europeans and their descendants actively dabbled in propoganda/a worldview that white = human and nonwhite = non/subhuman (culminating in Nazism) would understand this but our education system often avoids these difficult topics. Women were not able to hold credit up until the 70s and so their financial security depending entirely on their husband, depriving them of agency.
Unfortunately we can't just flip a switch and make this history and it's legacy disappear. I don't blame the people portrayed in this comic. I blame inadequate education.
