> If credit score and income are correlated to race in America, should they be ignored from loan applications? Is correlation causation? Is it fair to encode a judgement based on correlation but not causation? Or to make your position more clear, do you support racial profiling?

(My position is that making decisions based on correlation but not causation is the general case for which racial profiling is a specific case.)
