But when data shows disproportionate action and inaction based on groups - racial for example - then the response and action must be implemented with those group biases in mind.mmazenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602797515366983639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-81840531512576111332016-09-14T06:29:10.312-07:002016-09-14T06:29:10.312-07:00I would agree with that, mmazenko--but for *indivi...I would agree with that, mmazenko--but for *individuals*, not *groups*.
