It's not a very plausible assumption that your competitors are racially biased but your investors and customers aren't.

It's not a very plausible assumption that your competitors are racially biased but your investors and customers aren't.
- geofft 9y agoNot only that, it's much more legal to be racially biased in who you choose as your customers. The laws in the US that require nondiscrimination in hiring, regardless of how effective they may or may not be, don't apply at all to choosing a NoSQL vendor or whatever.
- tlb 9y agoWhich part isn't plausible? There's plenty of evidence that competitors are biased in various ways. For tech startups, customers and investors are rarely aware of the racial mix of employees, unless maybe they're in the news for not being diverse enough.
