So, I had a founder of a newly funded American startup tell me that he thought I was going to be either "Pakistani" or at least "brown" when we were talking on a video call (because of my name). He was (I believe) Indian American. And when I told him that while I am not Pakistani, I am in fact "brown" by some definitions since I am mixed hispanic, black, and white. He seemed dismissive of that.
Anyways, did not get any follow up after that video call.
So, I am wondering if I should report this? Go public with the name of the founder and startup? Contact their investors and let them know?
Discrimination of any kind is disgusting and I was unsure of whether to do anything about it. But, I do not think that discmination should work in any "direction".
