Is this really a problem? Is anybody really preventing black/hispanic/female people from starting companies and asking for funding? This would be more relevan

  I think your comment doesn't account for the possibility that even getting to the point of asking for funding may not be ascertainable for certain demographics. The types of things this article alludes to are very much on a macro-social level.

    That seems like a pedantic point. I don't think the part after the "from" in the first line of the parent comment really matters that much. Is anyone stopping the "certain demographics" in question from doing anything?

    > may not be ascertainable for certain demographics Hold on. This is the sort of racial pleading that we need to get away from as a society. While racism is still alive and well in places in america, i find it hard to believe that colleges, companies, and dreams have somehow left minorities by the wayside. Children often follow their parents in profession. Let's be clear that a lack of minority engineers does NOT indicate engineering is closed in any way shape or form to minorities.
