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?

it would be useful because then you can ask the question, why is it someone who is over 6'2" more likely to commit a crime and go from there and possibly find solutions. pretending race and culture doesn't influence behavior is just sticking your head in the sand.
