Your counter argument to verizon call list is: what if a black guy is calling the KKK?

Not that I'm pro verizon, just that is a very poor example.



I think he was trying to grab an example that would be easy to jump to conclusions about (calls to the KKK)


It's a poor example. If I were black, I'd be pretty unconcerned about the possibility of my friends and family thinking I'm a Klansman, no matter what my phone records say.


Probably you misunderstand example.

> They will quickly jump to conclusion that you are probably a neo-nazi, but maybe you was like that black guy that made a KKK documentary (I forgot the name, I saw in school many years ago, a teacher showed us) and interacted a lot with them.

It does not means that you would be black, it means only that you would be making KKK documentary like that black guy.
