This approach doesn’t work. If sensitive features are actually predictive (and they very often are), the model will just learn to predict these features based on the non-sensitive ones. For example, if you know that someone is 30 years old, lives in Bay Area, and earns less then 30k/year, if you bet that this person is neither white nor Asian, you are more likely to win this bet.
