No, nothing like that - I am removed from any personal feelings.

Just observing facts from the picture. I'm getting down-voted, but I don't mean any ill will towards anyone. Perhaps no women or minorities applied to be in the first batch, but then again, that is also an indicator of a social issue - that more women and blacks and hispanics are not engaged in tech.

I just wish that tech entrepreneurship drew a more diverse crowd, as that would bring more diverse and necessary solutions for world problems. Not everything can be fixed from the lens of middle class white and asian men.



As important the issue of minorities/gender in tech is, probably people just do not want it to be brought up in every single topic.


That's fair, poor context and insensitive to the original reply on my part.
