So what's the message I take home? Women and minorities are perfectly happy forming sub-groups to exclude me, but I can't do it to them. How in the hell is that not racist again?

Well, I don't know about your college, but back when I was an engineering student women made up 50% of the school and 10% of the engineers. Similarly, black students were about 20% and there were maybe 4 black engineers. They form those groups not to exclude you, but to encourage more of the members of that group to pursue engineering. Not everything is a plot to fuck with you.
Your other points were good.
