As an example. If you found that porn with red lingerie outsells porn with green lingerie, you would use more red. You can change that.
If we found out that people over 6 foot 2 were more likely to be criminals, again it is not really useful. So we don't do that. So why do we divide by race all the time?

So your saying that KNOWING a specific group, in your example people over 6'2" being more likely to be a criminal, does nothing for us?
Knowledge is power. Use it for or against. Call it racism or Heightism or what ever, but if you have statistics that prove something then you can make changes to prevent, adapt or allow.
