They may have conflict, but they get together in the same fields. I have photographic evidence to prove it:

AOC's calling a robot police dog racist greatly amused me. NYPD dispatched the dog to patrol high-crime areas, which happen to be black and Hispanic. Hey, if you don't want robot police dogs in your neighborhood, stop crime.
Today I was amused by the New York Times article, "Who Is Making Sure the A.I. Machines Aren’t Racist?" The problem, according to the Times, is too many white men are involved in the development of artificial intelligence machines. The assumptions are 1. that the white men are biased and 2. they will transfer their biases onto the robots they create.
I suppose so.
But somehow white men invented and developed railroads, photography, the telegraph, the telephone, automobiles, motion pictures, airplanes, recorded music, radio, television, personal computers, and the Internet and civilization survived. I submit that racism today is far smaller because of that. TV put Southern segregation in the living rooms of Northerners and they did not like it.
I am not saying AI will be free of the prejudices of its inventors. I am saying the issue should not be a deal killer. Build the machines, then adjust them. Early photographers, for example, did fine when they photographed white people but had a harder time getting the lighting right for darker skins.
The race problem we have today is that we have created a class of highly educated social justice warriors without a real cause. There is such a shortage of white-on-black hate crime that poor Jussie Smollett and others have had to stage phony attacks.
A half-century after passage of civil rights acts, and recently the election of a black president, anti-black racism is pretty dead in America. That means there is really no need for a Congressional Black Caucus. To keep the nightmare alive, activists began throwing around the term systemic racism.
Do we really want to go there?
Vanita Gupta did. It did not go well for her. She is Xiden's nominee for associate attorney general. At her hearing, Republican Senator Tom Cotton pointed out that she had said all Americans have implicit racial biases.
Cotton asked her, "Against which races do you harbor racial bias?"
She punted, saying, "I believe that we all have implicit bias. It doesn’t mean that we are harboring any racism at all, these are unconscious assumptions and stereotypes that can get made."
Ah, suddenly a bias is not racist, assumptions aren't racist, and stereotypes aren't racist. The poor word literally has no meaning anymore, does it?
He asked again, and she replied, "I hold stereotypes that I have to manage. I am a product of my culture. It’s part of the human condition. And I believe that all of us are able to manage implicit bias, but only if we can acknowledge our own, and I am not above anyone else in that matter."
Ah, she is a product of her culture. Her racism is not her fault. She is just trying to manage it because "it’s part of the human condition."
Finally, someone has said publicly what we all know deep inside. Racism is normal. That does not mean it is OK. Lots of things that are normal are not OK. Coveting thy neighbor's wife, for example.
If Gupta is not above anyone else when it comes to race, then nobody is beneath her. And if no one is beneath her, we have no justification for firing people for saying something foolish.
But we do because such firings make people feel good about themselves. The self-righteousness of the mob is its greatest attraction. This made lynchings popular, did it not?
Instead of worrying about racist robots, we should worry about the real problem: those who profit from pitting the races against one another.
Meanwhile, to those who live in AOC's district who want to escape the racist robot dog, I suggest they do what her parents did to escape crime, and move to Westchester County.
When minorities burn their neighborhoods, they blame cops for not being there and demand police presence. Its racism that they are not there keeping law and order.
To do what exactly, pass out marshmallows and make smores while it burns?
When cops actually police a minority area, its racist. Its racist just for them being there.
So everything cops do in a minority area is painted as racist.
Blue Jays don’t hang out with Orioles, and Robins don’t hang out with Cardinals.
If everything is racist, then nothing is. Basic Karl Popper logic.
RE: Blue Jays don’t hang out with Orioles, and Robins don’t hang out with Cardinals.
So, birds are by nature racist?
Only Americans, who have lost their country by allowing in a tsunami of non-white immigrants, and thereby have brought down a curse on their grandchildren, are stupid enough to sit back and allow themselves to be called racists.
If there is such a thing as white supremacy, then shouldn’t everyone try and be like whitey?
Well, going by the stories, a surprising number want to be white women.
Let’s get back to Jim Crow and be done with it. This silly idea of the races living together is BS. To much jealousy for that.
Reality is racist.
Talking about racism is racist.
bkmk
America is the most accepting place for any other minority or ethnic group. You think any place where our minorities are majorities, do better with their minorities?
India? The middle east? Asia? Africa? Latin and South America? You gotta be joking.

The thing about stereotypes is that very often there is an element of truth underlying them.
Of course, truth is racist now.
