You are a member of a parole board who is in an area with increased racial tensions. You are voting whether to institute an anonymous review process so that institutionalized racism will not be a factor. There are concerns that race will still be "legible" in the files, and that it will be easier to justify racist decisions by claiming ignorance due to the anonymity of the process. Elaborate on how the decisions of parole boards are currently made and whether you think this will be an effective solution.
