Other commenters have imo adequately addressed the major flaws in this comment/argument so I won't be redundant here. That being said what is unfortunately NOT shocking, is that anyone upvoted this comment at all and it that doesn't have a negative score. Pretending something doesn't exist (or ignoring the fact that it does exist), and modeling systems under that pretense, doesn't make the thing not exist - it only reinforces the existence of the thing. |

I can understand the parent commenter downvoting, esp if not convinced by the position of the article or the subsequent comments.
I knew better than to wade into this topic on this site given the audience demo of this site, I am hardly surprised at the reaction by lurkers.
I am encouraged and heartened by the commenters that actually read the article and have provided excellent reasons why you would want to build systems and models that account for systemic racism and bias.
Very illuminating all around.
