I don't know if I agree with his conclusion "27/ So please, don't sweep race under the rug when you meet me. Talk to me about it. It'll help you understand why I'm going to succeed."
I feel like if I'm asked to have some special set of "questions only for minority founders", I'm always going to think of minority founders as different. Overall I think this simply inspires animosity and hurts race relations. It puts a chip on the founders shoulder (did I deserve this or was it a handout) and casts doubt in the minds of white people that wouldn't otherwise be racist (did he earn that or was it affirmative action).
I don't claim to know what its like to be a minority founder. Nor do I claim to have a solution to race relations in America. I just don't see this as a better alternative to V.C's being as colorblind as can be.
