5. Actually, this is the whole point of Critical Race Theory.

Critical Race Theory explains why we get racist results from systems even when we try to eliminate them -- it's because the systems themselves are racist. It's not necessarily the mortgage broker who gives a Black couple a worse rate or turns them down; in the aggregate, it's the formula itself.

Perhaps but everyone is still in jail. So presumably they all have records
Sure, but even if a Black person and a white person are imprisoned for the same crime, the length of sentences or other circumstances are likely to be different because we live in a white supremacy. And an AI developed in a white supremacy is going to deliver a white supremacist outcome, even if we don't tell it the race of people involved.
