False. If you are going to stop a car forexample, you have to make a judgement call.
When you go to a specific part of a city, you have to factor in how likely crime will be in that area. Etc.

You are doing these types of estimates all the time.

    You are judging people by looking at their skin color. You are treating whites unfairly and making them more criminal than they are.

    I have come to the ultimate conclusion on this thread! Black and white people are not physical dice! But dice can be Black or white We are finally getting to the nitty gritty of this issue. (This discussion has continued much longer than I thought it would LMAO.)

    If you have a group of 6 individuals who are black:
    B = [Criminal, Criminal, Innocent, Innocent, Innocent, Innocent]
    and 6 individuals who are white:
    W = [Criminal, Innocent, Innocent, Innocent, Innocent, Innocent]
    and you treat individuals in the W group as if they were just as likely to be criminal as the individuals in the B group, then you are treating them unfairly, because the probability of an individual in W being criminal is 1/6 while the probability of an individual in B being criminal is 2/6. Treating them as if they had the same probability of being criminal is discrimination against white individuals.
