You're right, maybe I should have said race instead of skin colour and added sexism to my list of accusations.

What I said was pretty well-worded, I think it's much larger than the example you're thinking of.

For example, any of these studies would drive the internet angry (if they found a strong result):

- Midgets vs IQ

- Attractiveness vs IQ

- Attractiveness vs Likelihood of birth defect

- Wealth vs Emotional Stability

- HN vs Autism Spectrum

- Eye Color vs Empathy

The formula is (visible trait) x (valued trait) x (has this trait already been historically used to justify atrocities).
