What's most likely is they're using the 2024 definition of racism, which is effectively meaningless at this point. If disproportionate lack of access to buses by anyone other than whites and asians was the result, whether that was the intent or not, then somebody did a racism. I read an article recently about how doctor offices were successfully using AI to optimize patient appointment schedules to ensure more people were able to see doctors. Since no-shows cause a slot to be used up that someone else could have used, the system will select the people with a history of no-shows to put in the overbook slots. If everyone in the overbooked slot shows up, however, they will have to wait longer to see a doctor. The study compared the wait times of demographic groups (because that's what we do now) and found that blacks were in the waiting room longer on average because they had a greater tendency to no-show (their words, not mine), causing the system to select them for overbooking. The conclusion of the study: somebody did a racism.

Right, that is pretty much exactly what I suspected when I saw that vid.

Should we tab China to lead a forum on free speech or North Korea to lead on not executing anyone who doesn't heap effusive praise on Dear Leader?

March 28, 20241 yr I think it's because one of the mods got tired of hearing the petulant children in the blog cry over being called raclst or having to read reports allegeing others of being raclst so they just filtered the word altogether. edit: yep see above
