There are too many things to control for to conduct a proper study. Even if you conduct a study, after presenting the result, you must dissect the weaknesses of the study. That's common practice in science and is never done when these studies are cited to support arguments. But it's more crucial than anything because more often than not, after reading the limitations of the study and all the confounding factors, it becomes unreasonable to think that the study results represent reality in a reliable manner.
Because you're studying race, it's extremely difficult to control for, like FNM said, and I'm very skeptical of anyone who pulls ONE study and then say, therefore, this.
