choose based on socioeconomic data, meaning hey, if the area has a lot of kids getting free lunch at school, no loans? Or if the data says that the zip code is only 5% white, no loans?

Is that what you are advocating? Do you think these banks exist in a vacuum, getting no benefit from the govt. and the fed?
