I would address the issue by making the male members realize that women of color are also equally deserving like white males. Therefore, the eligibility criteria should not be adjusted to suit the white males to be preferred over women of color just on the basis of color. I would refer to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to make the white male members understand the importance of being fair towards every eligible candidate by not showing bias towards any race of candidates. I would explain to the male members about the ways in which discrimination can lead to the development of a negative image of the organization.
