Redlining is only one of the many racists housing practices that have existed and continue to exist today.l
> in 1979
Have you even done any research on this topic? From a famous article[1] about the history of racism in housing:
>> In 2011, Bank of America agreed to pay $355 million to settle charges of discrimination against its Countrywide unit. The following year, Wells Fargo settled its discrimination suit for more than $175 million. But the damage had been done. In 2009, half the properties in Baltimore whose owners had been granted loans by Wells Fargo between 2005 and 2008 were vacant; 71 percent of these properties were in predominantly black neighborhoods.
> 37 non redlined years
Those are also years of sub-standard schools, poor job prospects, and (in some cities) toxic levels of lead paint. Growing up in that kind of environment can limit your options severely.
> it is not possible for your model to discriminate against Black people because it doesn’t know if anyone is black.
I always like to assume ignorance over malice, so I will simply suggest that you should do a lot more research before making this kind of claim.
