The problem is that people view pure statistical based crime probability as "unbiased" because... math. It's not! Most bias is deeply hidden, and our training data comes directly or indirectly from some form of human subjectivity.
The more autonomy plays a role in our lives, the more aware we need to be of how internal bias from human source has affected things like predictions.
And please, there is nothing more flippant and off-putting than railing against "SJWs," this is a topic that demands thoughtfulness.
