Can you cite the scientific proof? From what I've seen, race is correlated with default probability after taking other obvious factors into account (e.g. income, education, single motherhood).
Figure 7 of the underlying paper we are discussing shows exactly that - a white/asian person with a 700 FICO score has about a 10% chance of defaulting, while a black person with a 700 FICO has about a 15% chance of default. (Those numbers are eyeballed from the graph, might not be that accurate.)
I can't cite all the information I have on this, but I've found a blog post which analyzes similar data and derives similar relationships in publicly available data:
