One of the most interesting areas on the cutting edge of Data Science is understanding what digital fairness actually means including wrt Racial Discrimination. It's not simple. Learning algorithms can be (and usually are, unless very carefully tweaked) decidedly discriminatory even if there are is explicitly discriminatory code (Joanna Bryson and Cynthia Dwork are very good on this).
In this I'm a peripheral observer and no expert. But I'm pretty sure that, alas, the set of "states that are free of racial discrimination" is empty.
If anyone is aware of some good stats on this it would be an interesting topic, and entirely legitimate for this forum!

Nicholas Beale is of course correct that our list includes members drawn from various types of regime. And a good question here is why has this list `got into bed' with the unsavoury members? For membership, ought there not perhaps to be a requirement that only those domiciled in democratic states that are free of racial discrimination would qualify?
