g. We have used the emotionally neutral categories of “pick-up trucks” and “passenger vehicles.” Now consider the more empirically relevant case of “minority neighborhoods” and

“nonminority neighborhoods,” with law enforcement often searching cars in the former with significantly higher probability than in the latter. Can you argue that such behavior by law enforcement officials is not inherently racist in the sense of being motivated by animosity against one group, but that instead it could be explained simply as a matter of statistical discrimination that maximizes the effectiveness of car searches in deterring the trafficking in illegal substances? What evidence might you look for to make your case?
