This isn't a negative comment towards the man himself. I would say take a look at his other posts (https://substack.com/profile/1881468-stuart-ritchie) before you take this article as serious as you should. There is an article about "racist dog names" so I would think, take this article with some salt. It's opinion not fact guys. Again, I'm sure he's a cool dude and let's drink some beers and all but I wouldn't take this guys stance on science and politics as something that is that serious. SEO ftw?

Calling this[1] "an article about racist dog names" is a complete misrepresentation. It's a critique of a study published in Social Psychology Quarterly, which is an official journal of the American Sociological Association.

The guy is an academic scientist (well, psychologist) and has written a successful book on bias and fraud in science. He isn't just some random guy at the bar.
