Why are people so adamant in denying the potential that blacks on average may in fact commit more crimes? Even considering that the system is biased, is it really so difficult to accept that there really IS more crime in poor, minority neighborhoods?
It is as if those who kowtow to political correctness don't understand that bias can exist in both directions, and when it comes to making decisions that affect society in general, both types of bias cause problems.

I just note that all the bases for the claim—made in the post it responds to—that that is a fact and not a potential rests on data affected by known sources of bias whose magnitude cannot be independently measured and corrected for.
