You're explaing why people are basically racist and xenophobic. Congrats. Unfortunaely, this makes your posture politically untenable / incorrect and dangerous. It also paints VCs with guilt by association. Because, ya know what? they are certainly sexist and racist based upon the data. Unfortunately. Bad news for this argument is tha VC cash comes from Public Pension funds and other LPs which politically cannot support such institutionalized bias against protected classes. Of course, the loophole is that VCs are not employers. So they are legally entitled to be as rascist, mysoginistic, and otherwise discriminatory as they damn well please. But don't go around publicising it.
Its no more absurd then the appeal to authority from dating advice. Because if you look at the quantitative analytics on dating, they are pretty strong. They show rampant/pervasive casual racism and obvious self-segregation. The value of trust should not be underestimated, but if you're not going to go through the bother of thinking through the implications you need to hedge any sweeping proclamations.

Turns out most men are social proof whores. They are much more likely to date somebody who has been introduced to them by a friend they trust.
Oh, and women too.
C'mon. Weak argument here man. Newsflash: We trust the people that... we trust.
Weak argument here man

Uhh.... Sure?
Suffice to say I find your comments so absurd that they don't even merit a rebuttal. Consider yours the last word, congrats.

That's more of an availability problem, though, not a trust problem.
