> 1) Let's say you could provide definitive data showing, without doubt, that intraracial relationships resulted in different longterm outcomes than interracial relationships, with an extremely high degree of statistical certainty. Would you say that consideration or utilization of this fact would be racist if done in a completely impartial fashion? Probably, it meets most definitions. > 2) What if we instead of simply considering intra/inter relationships we instead look the outcomes differences between specific ethnic/racial matchups over the longterm. Would consideration or utilization of these data be considered racist if done in a completely impartial fashion? Well yes it would be. ˘ 3) Let's move away from algorithms and add a human element. There are a variety of, mostly ethnically homogeneous, religions that vehemently forbade marriage outside the religion and where joining the religion, as an outsider, is made extremely difficult. Are these religions inherently racist? Are their practitioners inherently racist? Yep. Pretty much anything that seeks to understand differences between races will inherently be racist by it's definition.
