1/2 No citation needed for this causal statement. Just skip right to the disparities and call them racism (and then lament that white people are resistant to interventions designed to promote this understanding). 
2/2 What's frustrating is *not* that it's a bad paper (I found it interesting). It's that the findings are in no way dependent on the truth of this causal claim (though I suppose their normative framing and activist implications are). I thus don't know why it's relevant.
3/3 Addendum: I guess I just wish social science papers would just stick purely to the findings and leave it for others to derive their own implications
Paper (actually a dissertation) in question for those curious deepblue.lib.umich.edu/handle/2027.42…
