The points you are making are entirely political and apply generally, not just to insurance. Insurance is a business and it's not the job of the insurer to correct long-standing social ills.

Whether or not my points apply generally does not mean it does not apply to insurance. In fact, it very likely means insurance is a subset of generally, and therefore insurance also has to deal with racism. You cannot extricate models of society from their ills by pretending the ills aren't relevant.

It's not political to point out bad data will make bad stats.
I'm sure if black wall street wasn't razed to the ground by a racist white mob (among several other attempts to gain stability, wealth, etc. by black people being destroyed by racist white anger) then maybe the model wouldn't need to "reflect the underlying stats that correlate with race...". But those underlying stats, and those correlations, didn't just happen in a vacuum, hewn out of the aether like a magical and consequentless thing.
