It's worth noting that "worse decisions" is from the point of view of the insurance company, which would prefer to act racist if only that pesky law didn't stop them, and will continue to do so to the extent they can get away with it.

Curious that you assume the insurance company was racist / malicious in this case. There's nothing to suggest that reading in the story I gave.

As you said, they were sued for discrimination and lost.

Also, differential insurance coverage tends to be one of the worst ways that systemic racism is perpetuated.
