I don’t have any data to hand on this issue, but there is some optimal amount of disseminated info+set of social norms that maximizes people’s ability to correctly judge others’ merit. Ceteris paribus, let’s go with that.

I agree, but that means the optimum norms are a balance rather than to be maximally vigilant hunting down minor discrimination. Since the maximum is wrong, this means that complaints that something is the type of thing that should be socially disallowed are highly suspect.
Yes. I don’t mean that it should be totally disallowed. The optimal thing would be to weight it appropriately. However, it may be that there can’t be any other states in society other than “ban it/make things race-blind” and “allow it/don’t make things race-blind”.
