For real. Check the article I linked to in that section, it's appalling. And I've seen many other such cases. Seeing such blatant identity politics in such a wildly counterproductive place has caused me to avoid joining meditation groups I've otherwise been interested in.

Definitely, it's a failure of one of the philosophy's most core tenets!
