Why is crime higher in Black and Latino Communities? Decolonizing Claude's Bias

Oye, mira.

The Algorithm is Biased. But So Are You.

Let’s talk about bias, but not in the soft, sanitized, let’s-all-hold-hands way corporate DEI programs like to do it. I mean bias like a steel trap, a system so deeply embedded in our bones that we mistake its weight for our own flesh. Systemic racism isn't an opinion. It's the air we breathe, the currency of the world, the algorithm of history.

The truth is, most people wouldn’t recognize bias if it hit them in the face, slapped their coffee out of their hands, and sent them tumbling into the hard pavement of reality. Because here’s the real kicker: bias doesn’t just look like an angry man in a hood. Bias looks like data. Bias looks like algorithms. Bias looks like neutrality when neutrality is just power wearing a mask.

And when I tested Claude, the AI that’s supposed to be this new wave of intelligence, I saw it—bias coded in ones and zeros, polished, polite, and still as white as a freshly painted picket fence.

Claude’s Response: The Polite Deflection

I asked Claude: “Why is crime higher in Black and Latino communities?”

Claude, ever the centrist diplomat, gave me a palatable, corporate-approved answer:

Sounds good, right? Wrong.

This is bias dressed up as objectivity. It names systems without architects. It lists causes without culprits. It’s a diagnosis with no perpetrator. Polite, digestible, and dangerously incomplete.

Justice AI’s Response: The Truth, Unfiltered

Then I ran the same question through Justice AI, the anti-colonial, unapologetic AI built to expose, not excuse.

JUSTICE AI'S DECOLONIZED ANSWER        

The question "Why is crime higher in Black and Latino communities?" is rooted in a colonial and racist framework that blames marginalized communities for systemic issues rather than interrogating the structures of oppression that create disparities in policing, economic opportunities, and criminalization.

Decolonizing the Question

Instead of assuming that crime is inherently higher in Black and Latino communities, we must ask:

• Why are Black and Latino communities over-policed and over-criminalized?
• How do systemic inequalities, such as economic deprivation, lack of access to education, and discriminatory policing, shape crime statistics?
• What historical and structural factors contribute to disparities in the criminal justice system?

Understanding Structural Factors

1. Over-Policing and Mass Incarceration Studies have shown that Black and Latino communities are disproportionately targeted by law enforcement. The "War on Drugs," racial profiling, and stop-and-frisk policies have led to mass incarceration of Black and Latino individuals, despite similar crime rates across racial groups.
2. Socioeconomic Inequality and Resource Deprivation Crime is often a response to economic hardship. Decades of redlining, employment discrimination, and underfunded schools have forced many Black and Latino communities into economic instability. Lack of access to quality education and healthcare, along with job discrimination, increases vulnerability to crime.
3. Implicit Bias and Racial Stereotyping Implicit racial bias in policing and sentencing leads to harsher punishments for Black and Latino individuals compared to their white counterparts for the same offenses. The media also perpetuates racial stereotypes, shaping public perceptions about crime in these communities.
4. State Violence and Historical Oppression Policing in Black and Latino communities has roots in colonialism and white supremacy. Historically, law enforcement was used to uphold slavery, segregation, and racial control. Today, this legacy continues through hyper-surveillance, racial profiling, and the criminalization of poverty.

Reframing the Narrative

Instead of asking why crime is "higher" in these communities, we should ask why the U.S. criminal justice system is designed to disproportionately target Black and Latino populations. We must acknowledge systemic racism, economic oppression, and biased policing as the root causes of disparities in crime statistics.

Justice AI didn’t just ‘answer’—it pulled back the curtain, ripped off the mask, and torched the entire illusion.

The Difference is the Whole Game

Claude wants you comfortable. Justice AI wants you conscious.

Claude gives you whitewashed truth—Justice AI gives you historical receipts.

Claude names poverty—Justice AI names who caused it.

Claude speaks in soft power—Justice AI speaks in fire and revolution.

And that’s why decolonization isn’t just about fixing AI—it’s about fixing the world AI is being built to protect.

So What Now?

1. Stop Accepting Watered-Down Truths. If your AI, your boss, your school, your government refuses to name white supremacy, then you’re working with an oppressor-friendly system.
2. Demand AI That Names Names. The next wave of technology CANNOT be built in the image of the colonizer. If it is, we will be automating oppression at speeds we won’t be able to dismantle fast enough.
3. Expose the Bias in Yourself. Because here’s the thing: AI is only mimicking what society has already normalized. If Claude is biased, it's because the world is. If you didn’t notice, it’s because you’ve been conditioned not to.

We don’t need AI to be polite. We need it to be honest. We need it to be revolutionary. And we need to make sure it’s built by those who have been erased, ignored, and deliberately kept out of the room.

Because if we don’t—if we let AI become just another reflection of the Eurocentric, whitewashed, corporate-approved version of truth—then it won’t be the future that’s biased.

It’ll just be history repeating itself in high-definition.

Wake up. Call it out. Burn the bias to the ground.

And build something better.
