I think the interesting part of the study is that they didn’t determine anyone’s color by race. only by visual evidence. basically, they looked at a picture of a guy and said he’s black or he’s white.

I think that’s good in this case study because they are trying to see through the eyes of an official and that was their goal.

People have made fun of that particular part of the study but I personally think that part was smart regardless if it was intended or just laziness.

Few4th – thanks for your subjectively objective comment. This subject is the object of many subjective comments.

In all serious, it does seem like making something out of nothing.

I’m in complete agreement. This looks like a case of massaging the statistics until you get a desired result. In this case, you’ve got an “objective” report with a ton of subjectively weighted factors, which in the end make the study subject to subjectivity, not objectivity. I now condemn my reply as a subjective, non-objective, riddled with non-productivity conglomeration of subjective words.
