Isn't that the same argument people use in the US to justify why more Black Americans are incarcerated / killed by cops?
If that is actually your stance, I'm confused as to how you see Australia as fundamentally different from the US.
- threatofrain 6y agoIt's also the argument about why AI isn't racist, the data is racist, and thus hotspot-based-policing is just a search for the optimal distribution of police resources.

- doctor_eval 6y agoThis is a couple of vloggers lifting quotes from the royal commission and discussing it. It’s an opinion piece, nothing more. In this video they also say that changing the date of Australia Day is “ridiculous”. That’s not necessarily bad in and of itself, but it’s certainly not an opinion shared by all aboriginal people and it strongly suggests that they aren’t impartial. If this is the best you’ve got to defend your views, you don’t got much at all.
