All people are equal, men are like women, Blacks perform like Whites. White men have invented almost everything in our technological world. But if we finance Black women inventors, our technology will improve vastly. This is the (false) theory of political correctness.
According Melinda Gates the wife of the (white, male) Microsoft pioneerBill Gates—only women and minorities can give us innovation. [Why Melinda Gates Has Been Funding Female VCs Through Her Secretive Investment Firm, by Polina Marinova, May 30, 2018.]Perhaps Mrs Gates should talk to the psychologists who actually research these things. Because their finding is that it is overwhelmingly high IQ—and therefore white—countries that are responsible for per capita innovation. And it is specifically those high IQ, white countries whose populations have the highest levels of the male hormone testosterone.
We tend to assume that a country’s scientific achievement is essentially a reflection of its average IQ. Controlling for population size, smart countries produce the most science Nobel Laureates, the most important scientific breakthroughs…so it’s the countries with the biggest brains that are the engines of civilization. {Source]

Melinda Gates Bashes ‘White Guys,’ Says She’ll Discriminate Against Them [Amren]
Joy Pullmann, The Federalist, June 5, 2018
Melinda Gates has decided to enter the venture capital world by sending her money to people based at least partly on their sex and skin color, she said in a recent Fortune interview.
“It’s been incredibly disappointing to watch how few women-led businesses are getting funded,” Gates said. “Ultimately, if we want more innovation and better products, we’ve got to put more money behind women and minorities.
Politically correct statements are considered self evident, no evidence is needed. There is absolutely zero scientific or historic evidence that women, Africans, or Aborigines contribute to innovation and better products.
White men, which includes white Jews, plus East Asians, the model minority (IQ ~ 105), created the biggest tech companies and brought a man to the moon. Had they only hired more African Women, we would have landed on the moon, long ago.
That wasn’t happening, so I decided to step in and see what I could do to help a little bit.”
Why do women, and Blacks, need outside quota help to succeed? Unlike Jews, and East Asians, who can achieve huge successes on their own.
Here are other portions of her interview where Gates specifically says some criteria for how she invests in startups are race and sex. She clearly says she preferences women and non-whites over men and white people, specifically for these immutable characteristics that have nothing inherently to do with business success. “Over-index” is essentially a financial or data version of affirmative action.
I am specifically looking at funds who over-index on women-led and minority-led businesses.
I’m asking a lot of business questions about how they will go about their funding, how they will over-index on women’s businesses, and how they will hold themselves accountable for a great return.
- It is too be expected that these funds will under-perform, by investing in groups that underperform, historically and statistically.
Some of these big firms often believe in the white guy in a hoodie disrupting a whole industry. So we’re going to disrupt it by making sure we’re indexing for women and minorities because they’ve got great ideas.
Many of them think if they have one female at the table, they’ve done their job. Another big one is when they say that they have trouble finding women. Those are just excuses. They don’t know what investing in these areas looks like until they get several women who are partners in their firm.
A white man could easily make products that meet minority women’s needs and desires, and vice versa. Their race and sex has nothing to do with their drive and ingenuity. But Gates implies that they do, which is weird and patently stupid, to put it mildly. […]
It’s by now automatic in our Alice in Wonderland world to {snip} imagine the social hypocrisy, not to mention cries of racism and sexism, if the scenario were reversed. What if Gates had announced she’s going to give “white guys” a boost in her investment calculus, merely for being white guys? Or what if she complained about a startup for having only one man on its board because then “they don’t know what investing in these areas looks like”?
For 60 years the Left has told us how wrong it is to favor people based on race and gender and yet here we are when they now use them as their only criteria.
"Melinda Gates has decided to enter the venture capital world by sending her money to people based at least partly on their sex and skin color" – The Leftist double-standard is nauseating. If a wealthy White man did the same thing by preferring Whites and those of his own gender, he would be openly denounced by every form of media. Yet for many liberals, what Melinda Gates wants to do is perfectly legitimate and something to be celebrated.
This story, however, reveals once again how hypocritical liberals are. They say one thing, and do another. They want a ‘color-blind’ society, yet they make race revolve around every one of their issues. They claim to despise ‘discrimination,’ yet they openly discriminate against Whites. The claim to love ‘free speech,’ yet they’ll do all in their power to physically prevent their political opponents from expressing their viewpoints.
When confronted with their persistent hypocrisy, liberals just ignore it or try to rationalize it through the most absurd arguments. The problem with conservatives and race-realists is that we are fighting against people who don’t follow the same rules of engagement, and there is no referee who calls to account either side when it violates the rules. In fact, the referee is on the Left’s side and always rules in their favor!

You nailed it, Xanthippe. Melinda is using a white male’s money to discriminate against white males.
She’s a microcosm of the new egalitarian West which uses the media, corporations, universities, and governments that white males built to discriminate against white males.
I think it will be deeply fascinating to see if she is happy to publish her Return-On-Investment figures perhaps 2 years and 5 years down the line from here – compared to the ROI of typical investments based on merit, aptitude and ingenuity as opposed to making sure their new prodigies are black enough or female enough.
Does she allow herself to get enmeshed in the whole Transgender / Genderflexible minefield. “Yes I will invest in you – but you must come on one of your “female days” as investing in your masculine persona would be wrong………”
Meh.
I guess wealth can buy most things – but perhaps not rational, logical thought.
