Yes, they should and they are now. I think that Y Combinator understands that by not taking these steps, they are possible excluding people who may be the best candidate for the job. Y Combinator is simply extending it's reach with the intention of including more diverse groups of people, not giving preferential treatment to those groups. They are simply opening up a bigger umbrella.
- refurb 12y agoThe title is misleading then. It should read "Y Combinator will expand outreach to minorities", not "Y Combinator to recruit more black engineers". If you go with the original title it suggests one of two things: 1. Y Combinator has avoided hiring black engineers up to this point and will now stop (which I know is untrue) 2. Y Combinator will specifically hiring black engineers over other races (which sounds like a bad idea)
