>Anyone who suppresses politically incovenient, yet relevant information about minorities, actually doing disservice to them; it is a worst kind of racism and "white privilege", to set arbitrary boundaries what is true and what is not wrt to some group of people.
People bringing up racial crime statistics as a valuable scientific avenue of investigation has contributed to hurting and discrediting me and my community throughout my life and historically. Even if the correlation exists, can we meaningfully act on it other than as a mechanism for discrediting programs that holistically address the issue in a system where guilt by association or ethnicity means nothing?
Denouncing statements about correlations between autism and airplanes haven't done people with autism a disservice in this sense either; it's driven research towards holistic and sensible studies and interpretations.
I hope one day you do not dismiss the issues that minorities like myself have encountered for generations as "white privilege" in the future.
