How so? What I see is a lack of conditional independence where there should be. Think it's a straw man you're attacking.

That it is,we dont yet live in a world s.t. conditioning on superficial traits is uninformative. The world's not randomly going to get there

The world will get there by treating people as individuals, not as members of a racial group.

That's coarse graining! If level of policy gains nothing from specifying the tree to a greater depth,then pointless waste of energy to do so

In fact, often intractable to do so in reality.

Coarse-graining is a flashy analogy, but a false one. We're talking about people, not atoms. And people are naturally tribalist, and need to be prevented from becoming too tribal so they don't slaughter each other. Intersectionality entrenches racial divisions - and prejudices.

Not at all false. Predicting means you can scale the level of precision with which you specify detail. Often counterproductive 2 overspecify

That's only one thing tribalism is. It comes with side effects, like encouraging interracial-conflict narratives. It is more efficient and less dangerous to pursue policies against prejudice in general than against specific tribes, because all prejudice has a common source.

The assertion that the left created racism by talking about it is the less parsimonious option, and requires the greater proof.

I never said the left created racism.

But it would go away if the left stopped pointing it out?
