>These racial discrepancies could be due to a variety of reasons, but it is likely that founders from underrepresented minorities are simply not granted the same amount of opportunities and experiences, specifically when it comes to funding.<p>This is effectively the assumption behind the modern day inequality movement and it is absolutely unproven. You can't just choose to believe what is convenient for your movement. When you have no hard evidence that the root cause is actually discrimination, you're just justifying your own racist power grab. I cannot believe that anti-white and anti-male discrimination has become so normalized in modern western society.<p>When does it stop? I've yet to see a single mention of a magical target demographic ratio where we go back to race-blind practices...and considering white men as an isolated demographic are a minority, when enough of corporate HR adopts such explicitly racist hiring practices, straight white men become marginalized. Its arguably happening already.
