Right, but it's better to be able to point to the data set and explain why its entanglements with wealth, geography, culture, etc. Fundamentally, hiding data doesn't just hinder people trying to use it to make racist claims. It's also depriving people of the ability to disprove those claims by pointing out how interconnected that data is with other factors. And so in the end, it ends up making it easier for the racist claims to go unrefuted.
