Univ. Chicago Study Finds Tea Party Not Racist

It hasn't been this quiet around here in months.
 
I analysed the report myself and lost it all when I accidentally navigated away from the page.

Anyways long story short, nobody answers personal evaluations of their own racism particularly honestly. A psychological test is a surefire way but it's not employed in this study, the data would have to be cross analyzed with this data. Also the data is not sufficient to prove causation. For example you may be making the assumption that causally more education means that people are more informed to choose small government, when it is more likely their expanded paychecks makes them more wary of redistribution. Unfortunately the study cannot prove conclusions you may have been making that support any convictions you may have, only present graphs of raw data. Interesting talking points, but few (actually NO) sweeping conclusions can be made.
