I've met quite a few YC founders from Europe. They were white, and shouldn't count towards your reputation for diversity.

When white people enter a black neighborhood, it is "gentrification", and it holds blacks back.

When white people move out of a black neighborhood, it is "white flight" and it holds blacks back.

White people! Stay exactly where you are!

Could someone convince me why I should care about the gonads and skin color of the people writing code for me? Does anybody really think YC's performance would be better if their founder classes looked like a diversity picture from a college recruiting brochure?

Do you really want a meaningful discussion, or a discussion where PC opinions are upvoted and critical voices are downvoted/banned by dang?

There are a lot of us who think that the code you write matters more than the gonads you carry or the color of your skin. We're quickly becoming pariahs as our workplaces become more politicized.

I don't know why more people don't understand that equality of opportunity is perfectly compatible with inequality of outcomes. Does nobody read Harrison Bergeron anymore?
