If you want to know how they did then read the paper if it gets published. You can't say the study is "retarded" until you've read their methods. There may very well be something to this, in turn you're all "retarded" for suggesting the authors don't realise there is a discrepancy in race as it regards to numbers playing the game.

I don't know their methods either (having not read the study), but it says as much in this article that they have adjusted the rate to account for the difference in numbers between blacks and whites playing. Then it would depend on how statistically significant their observations are that they could be attributed to something other than chance (i.e. racism).
