Did you even read the piece? It comes across as pretty balanced to me and doesn't necessarily cast blame.
The fact is, many minorities are severely underrepresented in VC funded companies.
That is a problem worth tackling whether or not it is due to implicit or explicit bias in VCs. One of the solutions offered up in the article is more training for minority applicants.
While I know there is plenty of bias among VCs (for one, many of them frequently say they like to fund people that remind them of themselves). The lack of awareness or training or accessibility is probably the largest factor and is unlikely to change without concerted effort of the entire ecosystem.
