Re: Susan Estrich
Susan Estrich wrote an op-ed about stereotyping with reference to a recent string of robberies. "The problem with correlations — like the one between young Black men and crime — is that they are both statistically accurate and inherently racist. This is not about causation. We have a right to be treated as individuals."
