Sama: when someone has a 35 year old looking face and 70 year old looking hands
- mkempe 13y agoFull quote: "it's a little creepy when someone has a 35 year old looking face and 70 year old looking hands" How is this an appropriate way of looking at people, and --worse-- publicly talking about them? There can be many reasons the skin on someone's hands have suffered (accident, work, disease, genetics, ...). It's not only a bizarre message to send out, it seems to indicate a rather shallow perspective on people. What does this kind of statement indicate about YC and its relation to people who are in their 30s and above? I do hope it's not a public judgment about someone who interviewed recently at YC. Either way, such utterance does not reflect well on YC.

- mkempe 13y agoWhat doesn't? discrimination by skin appearance, race, gender, or age?
- mkempe 13y agoThe president of YC tweets about the appearance of someone's skin based on their age (35! 70!) -- would it be more relevant if it were a tweet based on someone's race or gender?
