The reason the anger is directed at Thiel is that he has a lot of power in Silicon Valley, and he is using that power to damage the safety that minorities in tech feel. Since Facebook has claims to be pro-diversity, it’s continued association with Thiel damages their claims.

Thiel can say what he likes, believe what he likes, donate what he likes. People can and will judge him for that. And if he does it while associated with pro-diversity organizations, people are going to question how pro-diversity they really are.
