Hanlon's Razor: we should not infer malice from conduct which can be adequately attributed to incompetence.
I temper that with the idea that it should not be an automatic default assumption. The thing is it can be malice, but not always.
The idea that people of different races cannot have the same disagreements that they have with people of their own race, and it can only be about race is an example of a default assumption of malice. Clearly, people of different races can have disagreement/problems other than race since we are all humans. It would almost be wonderful if there were no "issues" other than racism between people of different races.
Was redlining malice, indifference, or incomitance? The damage was done without regard to motivation. But motivation could be the difference in it happening, or not.
