I upvoted this comment, which is exactly correct. HN will, as a group, attempt to remove race from any analysis, when in fact racial bias is present basically everywhere we have enough data to look.
- wjnc 9y agoRacial bias can be present everywhere without race needing to be a part of every theory or else face the accusation of intellectual negligence. It's not a persons race that's discriminating... Persons discriminate. Adding a factor for race in an economists model explains nothing. Proper theory needs to explain the motivations behind discrimination. That actual means (IMHO) theories without 'race' (but with broad socio-economic explanations) to explain racial discrimination and segregated outcomes.
