There is an old military saying that says, "You know you're over the target when you feel the flak."
In today's world, that phrase is often used when discussing hot button political or other sensitive issues. The first time someone goes apeshit, you know you are right on target.
Recalculating. . . .
I like the logic of commenter Justin:
If aliens came down and intercepted this software, before they even
introduced themselves to humans, they would merely have a map of
geographical areas with high crime rates without ever knowing the race
or ethnic origin of the neighborhoods. For you to stand on MLK Blvd and
protest such software proves that you are cognizant of the fact that
Black neighborhoods are high crime neighborhoods…. Stop race baiting
and actually do something about it for a change… No one wants this
situation with low income neighborhoods… Not white, yellow, brown, and
especially any self respecting black man. This sort of divisiveness
only serves to prolong the problem.

This reminds me of what the local media have been doing here in Los Angeles for the last several years. They have stopped referring to "South Central L.A." by that term because of the negative association. Now it's always "South L.A." on the news and in print.
Now bare in mind nothing has changed, including the crime rate and nothing has been done by the residents in the area to improve their shitty neighborhoods. It's just called "South L.A." now to be politically correct and not offend anyone.
I wonder how this great new app will refer to the area and if some PC douchebag will try and get it renamed to not "offend" anyone.
