Round-up

1. Young people from ethnic minority groups in Scotland believe some actions by the police amount to racism, according to a new report.

Well, they would think that, wouldn't they?

2. Does lurking racism affect the workings of our major institutions - government, the judiciary, medicine, and education? No, but someone thinks it does.

The "unconscious racism" test mentioned in the article may be similar to this one I wrote about a couple of months ago. It wouldn't surprise me if such studies were just as full of spurious science as that one.
