The only chapter that even broaches race is the one that talks about Moslem mothers that are pregnant during Ramadan and the statistical effect on health of the child. And that's technically religion, not race. The whole idea that some topics, if some races are more effected than others, cannot be discussed is, frankly, truly racist and nauseating. If we can't discuss those topics, how can they ever be addressed?
If you think the podcasts' criticisms are valid and you want open-minded people to hear them, you should at least give one well-explained example, because the cultural moment has truly passed for unsupported blanket accusations of racism.

I misread the title. I thought it was the original book called freakanomics. There is racist stuff in there, but I don't think folks who responded to me actually want to have a discussion about it. I'll just say that you should delve into the studies and claims the book makes. You will see how it unravels pretty easily
