That sounds good, but having no demographic stats is the opposite of sunlight. I don't believe it makes systemic racism go away, it just sweeps it under the rug.

Racism is a belief though. If we can remove a way that people come to the belief through statistical evidence we can make people believe it less. Keeping statistics can only work to provide evidence for the racists that all races are not of equal ability.
