Will techcrunch publish a similar list for non-white founders?

  That's the problem with these kinds of lists - why not lists for gay founders and over-60s founders and disabled founders? Making lists of people in groups that suffer discrimination doesn't do any harm, but it's not clearly helpful either.

    It's especially unhelpful to make lists of people who don't really suffer from discrimination but instead enjoy various privileges, such as women and certain minorities. And the ones that _do_ suffer discrimination, such as the over 60s you mention, receive zero attention and don't have the support of a massive bureaucracy and hordes of virtue signalers.

    That an initiative to correct an imbalance doesn't correct all imbalances is hardly an meaningful criticism. It's true: there aren't enough technology entrepreneurs of color, and probably not enough disabled founders either. Start the thing that helps those cohorts, by all means.
