Not exactly the issue that was initially presented but what do you guys think about this?

It's basically explaining that insurance companies have the right to discriminate based on age, gender and marriage status. To me, a male, it does seem unfair. Is it truely okay to generalize that all males are worse drivers due to the statistics generated by other male drivers?
Using this logic, it seems logical to do things like (this is just a stereotypical example and is not meant to be offensive to anyone): Since it is statistically shown that asians smarter, they should instantly be given preference in university selections or since it is statistically shown that certain races are more prone to crime, we should instantly suspect members of that race in that area.
To me a more fair look at insurance would be equal initial rates and the drivers be given rates based on their records, merits and their driving. (Such as a sit-in driving session)
I dunno, I thought i'd just bring it up.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
