The funny thing is that the valley is doing everything in its power to get rid of these "biases", even when they're proven out by machine learning, empirical evidence, and profitability. For instance, Facebook says that it will automatically stop assigning targeted ads by race, because it could get the race wrong. [1] However, when they got the race "wrong" even though the person might have interests stereotypically associated with those races, there was a big outroar. If they had instead called the race groupings by some other name such as "urban" for rap and basketball, for instance, I think that would not be so much of a big deal.
