Thanks for writing this. Another reference point: YC founders are ~16% black or Hispanic.
(I’m not sure if this is the best reference class, I was just curious in the comparison because the population of people who start YC companies seems somewhat similar to the population who join longtermist organizations.)
Thanks Ben! That’s an interesting reference point. I don’t think there are any perfect reference points, so it’s helpful to see a variety of them.
By way of comparison, 1.8% of my sample was black (.7%) or Hispanic (1.1%).
