I dig into the recently published "Name-based demographic inference and the unequal distribution of misrecognition", by Lockhard, King, and Munsch.

As the paper highlights, what seem like reasonable overall error rates of name-based demographic inference tools quickly degrade into unacceptable (and unpublicized) error rates when looking at intersections of demographics.

@NSalwen I don’t think it’s effective to reduce an entire gender to such narrowness & to do so will set you up for failure because #intersectionality is completely left out despite it being fundamental to understanding privilege & entitlement. And it is CRITICAL to addressing #systemicbias. “A person's various social & political identities combine to create different modes of discrimination and privilege. Intersectionality identifies multiple factors of advantage and disadvantage”

I love both #gays & #blacks, but this writer has a point here.
I also like to read different views to an issue : 👉

Stop paralleling homosexuality to Blackness

"By banding together, each group(women, gay, blacks, minority groups etc) would lose the individual message of their unique situation."
