You're missing the fact that there are a lot of reasons the data itself is actually bad... another commenter shared a reasonable analysis: https://medium.com/@docintangible/racist-data-destruction-113e3eff54a8 https://medium.com/@docintangible/racist-data-destruction-11...
So even if you want to ignore the fact that the data was outright used to discriminate in the past, the data itself is actually flawed in several ways...
- skfingngihg 4y agoI’m sure we can find flaws in any number of the included data sets, but we’re not excluding those, right? Why are people singling out this one dataset?
- micromacrofoot 4y agobecause this one is flawed and comes with some racist presumptions made by the people that originally correlated the data (the presumption being that black people moving into a neighborhood decreases property values... a particularly white-biased correlation without causation)
