You sound like an SJW, only inverted

I am nothing like an SJW.

SJW's perceive fairness as demographic parity.
Sycho perceive fairness as unawareness, color blindness.
I perceive fairness as equal opportunity.

If you are not aware of the academic definitions of these different types of fairness, then do not reply in ignorance. Rather use a search engine to educate yourself or feel free to ask what the difference is.

    I do. Again, if you're not well versed in the academic definitions, then please shut up. They have a mathematical definition and I am following that definition.

    Your definition of fairness is colorblindness which means to ignore the persons race which is discrimination and is biased.

    You think this bias and discrimination is JUSTIFIED for "moral reasons" because your definition of fairness is unawareness.

    I am however not okay with bias or discrimination, so I follow what is mathematically called equal opportunity which means if two individuals have the same qualifications, then they should be treated equally. Blacks and whites (on average) do not have the same qualifications (risk scores of criminality) so should not be treated the same ON average (like you want to).

    You're also wrong about your tirade about "OTHER blacks" because you do not know if it is the "OTHER blacks" or the individual standing right in front of you. My estimation is more accurate than yours, so I will have less bias towards individuals of different races than you.

    You have the moral lowground. Less bias, more equality; thanks.
