"Better classification than a random group" is a fairly low bar.
- lopmotr 9y agoI'm trying to counter the claim that race doesn't predict anything. More than nothing is something. How much? I haven't quantified it but neither has the OP.
- andrewprock 9y agoIt's not bad at predicting what race people will think someone is. Outside of that, it's of marginal utility at best. At worst, it's used for systematic oppression on a global scale.
