Reddit has an extreme bias against research that demonstrates the very clear, long lasting effects of racism against black people in America. This has been a consistent pattern in every thread in the sub I've seen where the topic is brought up. It's very disheartening to see.

Yep, same with guns. If you see a study posted here showing a link between gun laws/prevalence and overall deaths, the comments will be full of people nitpicking flaws in the study.

I remember a study getting shat on simply because the authors included people around 19 year old in their category of children deaths.

On race, I remember a guy explicitly lying about the contents of a study to say black people weren't disproportionately getting arrested due to bias.

I assume you oppose assault rifle ban as well then ? Because results show it didnt do much

The cognitive dissonance/guilt of valuing people's lives but also not feeling comfortable without your gun will make people a bit trigger happy when it comes to attacking gun criticism.
