The real answer is that the studies used to develop these various equations find differences in different racial groups and factor them into equations without asking why. In essence, race is being used as a proxy for socioeconomic status, and really we should be doing studies that account for those underlying factors rather than just lazily using race as a proxy.
That’s what the article is about. Because race itself is not real (it’s a social construct humans made up,) race is working as a proxy in these situations. The push is to find the actual, objective factors that this subjective category is a proxy for, and then make decisions based on those objective things rather than using a proxy.
