That's a really good question. I should have been much more clear about exactly what I was talking about. It wasn't about the knowledge gained, it was about everything surrounding that.
What I wrote was in response to an article that carried the subtitle "Are Emily and Brendan More Employable than Lakisha and Jamal?"
And included, just above the fold, these gems:
"Question: How can I use societal prejudices to aid in startup success?"
"Race for Internet Marketing and Startups"
There are many fascinating and extremely valuable studies treating race. You are right, they are often uncomfortable. I love those studies. But this post is not that. It not only has shoddy methodology and would get blasted to pieces by peer review, but its expressed purpose is the application of racism and sexism to the world of startups. THAT is what I was writing about.
