"That doesn't quite match up with the US adult population."
But what about the "startup population"? Something tells me that there are more companies founded by Asians than Africans or other ethnic groups.
If that the case then the problem happens well before VCs look for where to put their money into. Any policy that would favour disproportionately a small minority may mean VCs may be forced to ignore companies that have better chances to success, just because a given sector doesn't not reflect the distribution of the overall population.
But wake me when, for example, Hollywood and most of the entertainment/fashion/advertisement sectors start to really reflect the overall population distribution - and doesn't select just a minority of "beautiful" and "young" people... and stop the huge women exploitation.
