This is called reverse racism.
- nicklo 10y agoHold up, an attempt to rectify systemic injustice is not reverse racism. YC's doing a great thing here to support and foster underrepresented groups in the startup founder world. Being from an underrepresented group makes so many things harder because as a founder raising capital it, unfortunately, is often more about what you look like and who you know than your product or your vision.
- benguild 10y agoSeems like a separate issue. It's wrong to promote any sort of discrimination or exclusion based on skin tone or culture.

- maceo 10y agoThere's no such thing as reverse racism. There's only racism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw_mRaIHb-M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw_mRaIHb-M
- nxzero 10y agoEasy to laugh at jokes, it's hard to watch real racism first hand. Next time you experience racism in the real world, saying something - experience first hand what it's like in the real world to confront it, then reflect on why it's wrong to make choices based on race.
