At the very least we should expect that the results not be more biased than reality. Not all criminals are Black. Not all are men. Not all are poor. If the model (which is stochastic) only outputs poor Black men, rather than a distribution that is closer to reality, it is exhibiting bias and it is fair to ask why the data it picked that bias up from is not reflective of reality.

Yeah, it makes sense for the results to simply reflect reality as closely as possible. No bias in any direction is desirable.
Sarcasm, eh? At least there's no way THAT could be taken the wrong way.
