If you're ruling yourself out before you've even begun, then I find it difficult to have any sympathy. If the 'type' you're referring to is 'young, white male' then there are many aspects of life where you might be in the minority (I say that as someone who fails to tick two of those boxes). YC could do more to highlight its existing diversity but I'm not simply going to take your word for it (you still haven't explained what you mean).
