  • You want examples of systemic racism?

    • Poverty is inherited and it’s impossible to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Black people in America are poor because they used to be slaves
    • White cultural traditions are legal in Australia. Many aboriginal cultural traditions have been made illegal in Australia due to land ownership changes
    • Black people are under-represented in universities, so the university scientists building facial recognition apps aren’t building them to work on black people
    • Schools teach their lessons in english. Multilingual students who don’t speak english at home often have a disadvantage in lessons that will be felt their whole lives
    • Children of illegal immigrants may have never received identification such as a birth certificate and it can be hard to get this as an adult
    • Whenever the police use robotic and computer systems to detect criminals the AI ends up racial profiling and harassing black people
