Good work on this racism stuff. It's good to get the real story out there and it certainly looks like the researchers are on the right track given the evidence, although as everyone knows the science of statistics can be quite misleading because it's hard to correct for factors you don't understand or know about. From a logic point of view it seems to me racism would be a big factor, given that it is an undisputed stress - and stress during pregnancy is not pretty. Believe me. Anyway go for gold, anyone who says racism isn't real must be going around doing their damndest impression of see no evil hear no evil. And anyone who says any such systematic social condemnation is harmless I don't know. why bother? It defies all logic, it defies all the research, and if you think they'll ever listen you're more of an optimist than I'll ever be. Have fun, and don't let that puppet get away with the systematic harassment of your cat :)
