It's one thing to account for socioeconomic differences, as they're not based on immutable, inherent traits. Using race, though, is simply and purely racist.
You won't solve perceived "systemic racism" by instituting actual systemic racism.

I just wanted to point out the real problems with supposedly objective criteria: a lot of them are measuring too many variables while aiming to measure only one. Data scientists deal with this stuff all day long. I’m not one. But maybe it’s time we bring them into the conversation?
