You see the problem here ? What's to stop someone from just getting a black female friend to call herself a founder to do the pitch.

I get wanting diversity, but when you do it like this your blatantly putting others at a disadvantage.

How about you work on increasing your available times which would allow more people to apply overall.

Integrity? Self-respect?

Bring up "integrity & self-respect" when the larger issue is racism & sexism is disgusting.

Seriously? You're trolling their diversity efforts with absurd strawmen like the idea that teams will trick black women en masse into being fake token founders so that the real teams have an extra shot at office hours.

There is a disgusting "argument" being made here, but I'm not the one making it.

Racism & sexism is wrong.

When's the last time you experience a racist or sexist remarks or behavior?

When's the last time you confronted a racist or sexist?

You're welcome to call me a troll, but filters based on gender are sexist and those based on race are racist. Any other sub-topic to me is irrelevant, and points back to the real issue, this is toxic.
