They cancelled the march because they want to be more inclusive and reach out to more minority people. Maybe they should be applauded for caring. They clearly want to be inclusive and show solidarity with minority groups, including minority women.
BTW, the picture is not from the original article and I imagine you got it from someone who posted it non-ironically on an alt-right website, which you frequent.
To judge others on their own high standards of anti-racism, you actually have to care about anti-racism to understand.

No, actually people are free to judge on any aspect of this, in any way they choose, it isn't restricted to your uptight, self imposed narrow world view Burnley.
@SumKindaMunster People are free to give an opinion, sure. Though how credible is that opinion?
I know that the OP has sympathies with the alt-right and to hear him judging others for being insufficiently anti-racist is not something people should take seriously.
Maybe when they include more minority people for the women's march, you will like it and agree with its motivations. I imaging RebelWolf and yourself turning up nd enjoying being part of the fight against racism and misogyny.

I'm not really interested in hearing your creepy fantasies burnley.
And no, I would not be there supporting anything that these people would be doing. It's not about confronting racism or misogyny, its screaming about Trump and no longer being able to cry victim with any degree of authority.
@AgapeLove Its not a war but a march about an equality issue.
Surely if the organisers of this march didn't care about the race issue, then they would be accused of hypocrisy for only caring about 'their own' issue. The right would definantely accuse them of hypocrisy and tbf that kind of criticism would have slightly more weight.
@AgapeLove You can take that view if you assume that society is race neutral and colour blind. I think we know it isn't.
Say you wanted to to a campaign on gender equality but it was dominated above the demographic average by white women. Maybe there is no concous racism but maybe your own social circles are white and that you have not done anything to seek support from minority groups. I think that this is the dilemma here.
@AgapeLove I'm not sure about your point at the end. I just think that having a neutral attitude to race isn't enough in a racist society. Sometimes it's good to be pro active in anti racism instead of just non racist.
@AgapeLove But who is discriminating? It should be colour blind but it isn't and IMO you need to do some things to encourage equality, rather than just hoping it will happen on its own.
I disagree with you a lot but I respect you and I like that you always listen and have intellectual curiosity.
