@decapitae @gerrymcgovern The problem isn't only that it entrenches the existing racism. The ongoing problem is that, per Goodheart, once a person gets flagged within the system as being involved in "incidents", whether they were the instigator or not, the idea that they are a troublemaker just becomes an established belief. The people behind these systems, who might hide behind the idea that they're "data scientists" or whatever are complicit in racist, eugenicist ideologies, no matter how much they try to talk themselves or their "rationalist" (really: TESCREAList) credentials up.
