Of course there are going to be observable differences between different groups of people, but how much do statistics play a part with individuals? Statistics are good for an insurance company for example, they can make rough estimates based on peoples age sex ect. but this comes at a complete disregard for the individuals involved, statistically women may make safer drivers but being a woman doesn't you a safer driver. The moment you remove someones individuality and treat them as if they belong to some sort of hive mind then you've crossed into the realms of racism, sexism, ageism ect.
