UMD-led study first to link an Internet query-based measure of racism to death rates
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Google searches could unveil patterns in Black mortality rates across the U.S., according to a new University of Maryland study. Researchers found that those areas with greater levels of racism, as indexed by the proportion of Google searches containing the “n-word,” had higher mortality rates among Blacks. The study, led by David H. Chae, assistant professor of epidemiologyin the University of Maryland School of Public Health, is the first to examine an Internet query-based measure of racism in relation to mortality risk, and is published in the journal PLOS ONE.

What did you find noteworthy about the study?
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
