I would pay to see the questions they asked. I bet there was something like:
“Would you be afraid to walk in downtown Chicago at night?”
Yes? You’re RACIST!!!!! /eyeroll
Scientists have done these kinds of tests before, using both white and black responders. When the black response to questions such as the one you posed regarding safety in certain areas lined up with that of whites, the scientists had to look for for ways to spin as to why this response indicates “racism” when whites give it, but not when blacks give the same answer.
Here are the poll questions targeting the white, middle-aged and married/divorced.
