It would be deeply irresponsible to make statements that risk creating a stigma around even-numbered folk. Besides, is there any point in doing so? After all, you can’t just assume that people born in an even year are criminal by default! At the very least, you should issue a disclaimer to prevent bad actors from using your words to push bad faith narratives. It’s not as if that’s difficult! I’m not demanding that you say anything untrue, just that you exercise prudence with what you say regarding a few particularly charged issues.
This would be a more compelling (but not necessarily better) example if you imagine a totalitarian society that is already oppressing even-year people. Most people would avoid disseminating information that could be used to harm others, even if that information was true, and even if that harm was unjustifiable.
