This striking finding, reports The Economist, quickly captured national and international headlines, and generated nearly 700 Google Scholar citations. The study was widely interpreted – incorrectly, say the authors – as evidence that newborns should be matched to doctors of the same race, or that white doctors harboured racial animus against black babies.
It even made it into the Supreme Court’s records as an argument in favour of affirmative action, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson (mis)citing the findings.
