We're all subjected to all kinds of biases, but applying discrimination on a daily basis because you need to "fix" a problem has never worked.

As said in my other reply, fix society by tackling its root issues of education, jobs, and safety. It's a long road, but discrimination on people's attributes has never worked.

This is a very charged topic, so I don't expect to change anyone's opinion. Thanks for engaging.

And yeah, to your point, I think there's a lot of evidence for tackling the economics of the problem in order to make some positive changes.
