YC Open Office Hours for Black and Hispanic Founders

This wouldn't be necessary if you at ycombinator treated all people equally to begin with. Instead of doing that, you introduce discriminating "open office hours" in which some people are not allowed, based on their race.

That's some grade A idiocy.

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?

By not being discriminating? You don't fight discrimination with more discrimination and the very idea is so mindboggingly stupid that it hurts. It's sad to see that the social justice warrior bullshit has arrived at HN.
