Finances? While it is true that blacks and native americans have the highest poverty rates, if you take a random poor person they are about 50% more likely to be white than black. Same with the many of your other "proxies". Therefore they would be a poor bet for race. If you were using these proxies to identify the race of a person jailed for a crime, they might be good predictors, but only marginally more useful than just blindly guessing black, since they constitute the majority of incarcerated people. I think, by attempting to remove the smoke screens a "real racist" would use, you give them a new one - "look, our opponents want to ignore actual data". |
