I stopped reading when I saw the photo.

You don't think anyone but white guys can be salespeople? I'm just curious why you'd choose such an image, especially given the fire Y Combinator is under for systematically excluding and under funding women and minorities.

[TIL] Glengarry Glenross and Death of a Salesman are RACIST AND MYSOGINIST.

Also, they are not fat-positive and I don't think I saw a single transgendered person in any of them.

The blog author is not associated with Y Combinator.

But I think you have a point about the choice of image.
