I know that this is just a lame dig at Paul Graham's advice that it's helpful for pitching founders to be intelligible to customers and investors, but I'm also not sure it's true. There's this place called "continental Europe". Also a pretty big strip of Asia called "Russia".
There is a massive bias for white founders (~87%), to the detriment of minorities (~13%). This is masked slightly by the fact that Asians dominate minority founders (12% to 1%). These numbers are "under-representations" in relation to university populations, even for asians. [1,2]
