Yes, the goal of the modern Civil Rights Movement has basically been to say "in these areas, even though Bayesian inference produces statistically valid results, we as a society have decided that it's immoral to use it."
What axes are OK to use Bayesian inference on and what are not is a philosophical and historical question with lots of practical implications across politics, economics, actuarial science etc. It's really worth thinking about. But here's a start: in general, people are more forgiving of inferring data from mutable traits than immutable ones.
