Wow, I had no idea they discriminated based on race, that sounds kind of wrong to me. I mean for medical purposes it makes sense, do they also do it for auto insurance, where, in theory, your race does not make a difference?

They don't discriminate based on race. They do discriminate based on ZIP code, which is correlated with race.

https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/... page #16 shows deaths by "Ethnicity" and "gender."

There seems to be a difference between the different ethnic groups.
