You're acting under the assumption they argue in good faith. Give it time they'll go right back to the same old arguments, the L.A. riots didn't stop them from pushing, these riots wont either.
You don't need to believe them, all you need to do is take a look at China's population numbers and see if men outnumber women in their population.
They do the whole “it’s going to save someone, don’t you care about that
Emotional blackmail, I believe the term is called.
Well there is, but it's not against blacks.

They did that not because they're morons, it's intentional. It's propaganda. It basically holding up a black sign and calling it white.
“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
