Sexist, Racist Money

Many VCs and investment funds specialise in funding only racial minorities or female entrepreneurs.

I wonder, if an investment fund popped up with a mission statement that read “We only fund middle-class white males” whether it would be decried as being racist or sexist.

If you can change the gender, or the race, or the religion of the target group from minority to majority or vice versa, and people start taking umbrage, then even if you mean well, you’re still guilty of discrimination.

Update: Private missive from someone after I posted this – “It’s impossible to discriminate against white males [and long, rambling sexist, misandrist bullshit that we can summarise as ‘and it’s okay to do so because you’ve done it for so long to us.’]”

Fuck you! Seriously, fuck you! These funds aren’t the problem. YOU ARE the problem.
