For most of the 2010s, left-leaning voices on social media were predominately white and reformist. You can trace this back to Jack Dorsey's initiative to make Twitter the web's town square—events, breaking news, discourse, etc.
Twitter, predictably, tapped into institutions like journalism, publishing, socialites, etc, all of which lacked racial diversity.
So from the jump, social media discourse on the left was flawed.
