Why? Do you think any of those were grounds for rejection?

Those are all things demonstrated to bias hiring, so it's a reasonable question.

Note also that hiring biases don't require anything so unsubtle as making something like that grounds for rejection.

Sexism and racism is currently a hot topic and it looks like YC has made effort to change this.

Not sure about ageism .. if your over 40 should you even bother?

Paul -- see my comment above. I thought we would be rejected for sure.
