I...what? I'm all for studies and research, but not once was any sort of concrete evidence mentioned. He basically said "This research was done; they say it means this." He didn't say how it was done (I really want to know how they could accomplish a study that could successfully link racism to gun-ownership, really), the different aspects of the study itself, or really [i]anything[/i] of substance at all. And "symbolic racism" (dat definition and different example)? Really? There's something wrong occurring when someone splits racism into two different categories of intensity and essentially ignores one of them. Honestly, this "symbolic racism" exists for a reason. I don't condone discriminating against anyone because of preconceived ideas, but if a particular race of people has a very large tendency towards some trait, then it is statistically more likely that any one of them will have that trait.
