Here, the constraint is that of the people who can pay back a loan, the same fraction in each group should actually be granted a loan.<p>This does not seem fair to me, because if this is applied then your race (group) would determine your credit score threshold which feels discriminatory to me.<p>I feel that, by definition, it is not discriminatory only if none of your attributes that you could be discriminated against (gender, race, ...) are taken into account at all.<p>Maybe the concept of &#x27;equal opportunity&#x27; is just some compromise between discrimination and making less informed decisions.
