Did you really need to bring race into the topic? The word 'diversity' has an actual meaning, you know.

The comment you're replying to was very clear in that they were talking about career and background diversity -- as in, VCs have their money for diverse reasons.

There were like 5 bullet points about it, making it crystal clear what kind of diversity was being discussed.

One person's diverse group is another's monoculture.

I also brought educational background into the argument (40% from Harvard or Stanford). Why didn’t you comment on that data point and instead focus on the race data?

It’s understandable that you want to focus on the diversity of outcomes, just know that others might be interested in the inputs that led to those outcomes.

The only people who don’t like race bring “brought into” a topic are white.

For the rest of us, race is already here.

Bullshit. My large extended family is mostly "the rest of us" and doesn't like race being brought into a topic.

> The only people

There is at least one exception in me.
