This could have been interesting, but with a sample size of 395, I'm afraid the numbers are very unreliable.

- omnisci 14y agoIf this was a full scientific study, I'd agree. Lets keep in mind that it isn't, and it's just a reflection of what was actually said. It isn't fair to draw conclusions from this such as "Alabama is a racist!?!?", but the data do still say something.
- jedbrown 14y agoIf data are to "say something", they must do so in a statistically rigorous sense. I'm not going to speculate on statistical significance in this particular case.
