Suppose sentiment for the name Tyrel was better than for Adolf. Would that indicate anti-white bias? Suppose the name Osama has really poor sentiment. What fudge factor do you add there to correct for possible anti-Muslim bias? Suppose Little Richard and Elton John don't have equal sentiment. Is the lower one because Little Richard is black, or because Elton John is gay?
What we have been seeing lately is an effort to replace unmeasurable bias that is simply assumed to exist and to be unjust and replace it with real bias, encoded in our laws and practices, or in this case, in actual code.
