That is a very interesting point regarding Word2vec, but it's inappropriate to call this example racism based on the evidence provided.
Only 16% of the US population is Black, while 70% is white. If the error rates between Caucasians and Blacks were the same that would, in fact, be racist - or at the very least undemocratic.
It's like asking that everything in the world be symmetric when only 10% of the world is left handed.
- Eyas 10y agoI don't see why being in a minority means accepting a higher chance of being confused by a criminal. This is how cycles of oppression propagate.
- eximius 10y agoThose aren't equivalent unless humans are out of the loop entirely, which they shouldn't be in any area of law.
- abandonliberty 10y agoYour chance of getting confused BY a criminal is probably more connected to your ability to comprehend and communicate. Perhaps you not understand the metaphor. Developing takes time and money to produce accuracy. You're advocating greater per-capita investment for an ethnic group. That's racial discrimination. You are advocating racism. It should come as no surprise that there's a difference. It is therefore suspect that they avoid mentioning the magnitude of the difference; it must not support their case otherwise they would highlight it. Critical reading, logic, and reason will help protect you from this type of manipulation and inadvertent racism.
