I too saw your talk at startup school, wish I had the opportunity to speak to you both personally; but I'm glad you all are here answering questions. I found some of the examples given on how to solve the chicken and egg issue very interesting and helpful to the dilemma I'm currently facing with my company. Do you mind sharing additional failed and successful strategies to gain and balance customers within the AptDeco marketplace?

Awesome! Thanks for creating this, heading over now.

You've completely missed the point and it also seems your view of the world is very different than it actually is. How do you propose YC approach an issue like this, in a country filled with racism and discrimination? Is your idea really just "treat all people equally" and the world will follow suit? How does that work?

This was incredibly hard to read, but you are correct in one thing, it is not racism. It's Institutional racism, which is any system of inequality based on race.

I'm just simply asking whats the cause of the poor treatment? If you are able to assert that it is not due to white privilege and know if someone is off-base, then I'm assuming you know that cause to make such an assertion. That's all.

Then whats the cause of the poor treatment?

I completely disagree with this, but can you elaborate on racism not being in policy. I think you are confusing systemic racism (in regards to white privilege) with slurs, discrimination, hating someone's skin color, etc.
