Automated labels are objective because computers do not have assumptions.
B
Unequal misclassification can distort group sizes and gaps, especially for populations the algorithm identifies poorly.
C
Classification accuracy affects just spelling, not group comparisons.
D
People with uncommon names form a uniform social group.
