Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book could have been titled “Confirmation Bias: How to Selectively Interpret Data to Support Your Political Views“ At the very start, he creates a map showing the prevalence of racist Google searches. Then he compares it to a map where Donald Trump performed the best in Republican primaries. Lo and behold, they’re a close match! However, he didn’t bother to continue this comparison with the general election map. That would have shown that many of the states Hillary won show up as equally or more racist than the surrounding Trump states. I guess he didn’t see any point in muddying up the narrative. Then he mentions that five journals turned down all this amazing research into racist Google searching. Kudos to him for admitting that, but it would have been nice to know that the research on which this book was based was substandard. I could’ve saved a few bucks.
