NY Times:
The denigration of the accomplishments of white men is racist at heart. It is like saying that successful basketball players got there because of "black privilege." Her campaign has also had a tendency to be sexists while accusing opponents of sexism.
Most successful people get there because of a passion for an idea or a profession. The reason there are no black America's Cup skippers is mainly because of a lack of interest in the sport by black athletes.

Of course, there are usually rich sponsors for the boats, but you rarely see them at the helm.
