    Hi!

    This means exactly what it says. If the attribute "race" (meaning groups of persons, not sport events) is built into a model, that could be used for discrimination against people.

    Similar warnings exist for attributes named like Gender, Age etc. 

    This is just a message to the user. RapidMiner will process the data normally. 

    Regards,
    Balázs

    Thanks BalazsBarany , yes, race here is about ethnic groups of people, not meant to offend or discriminate.

    The most important thing is aboiut you write: "RapidMiner will process the data normally",

    Thanks a lot !
