Yes. And there is no greater example of unfairness in the US of A than that of racism. For someone to complain that mentioning race "politicises" a discussion requires a willful blindness to reality and often seems like an attempt

There are very sound technical reasons why this doesn't work. If you send a set of bits to someone on a device they control, they have a copy of that set of bits. Even if you do a bunch of work and make it so that they have to use a de
