Litigated for racism? I genuinely do not understand how this could be possible. These services aren’t showing the race of the people attending, are they?

- citizenpaul 4y agoThe reality is there is a great deal of overlap of races and socioeconomic status. High crime areas for instance tend to be not white. I've been involved in a business that was sued for discrimination simply because the target market was low income. Which happened to mean the majority of customers were not white even though we didn't track any customer demographics. They won the suit based simply on that fact. Literally zero proof of any bias occurring. They couldn't even come up with how the business were exploiting them and what the benefit was to the company. Simply that there were a disproportionate amount of customers that are not white is good enough. The DA(district attorney) kept asking for our racial data and would never accept that we didn't have any. I had to sign so many things saying that I was indeed providing all the data we had and that in fact we did not keep racial data on customers.
