Having someone convicted of murder (or other felonies) while employed by you is a serious hazard. If we're allowed to use aggregate pigmentation-linked population statistics (which I think is dumb), then it is rational for me to deny candidates because of a fear that my innocent workers are 7.5x more likely to end up convicted and in jail yes?

All else equal I would pick the employee with 1/7th the chance of being wrongfully convicted, as having my employee in jail is bad for business.
