Unequal application of scientific doubt: demanding overwhelming proof from scholars of color about structural racism, while accepting weak evidence for racial deficit theories. Example: "Where's your RCT proving police bias?" But when a paper suggests a genetic basis for IQ gaps, same reviewer says, "Interesting—needs more study."

Evidence-based Racism Using systematic reviews, clinical algorithms, and risk assessments that treat race as a biological proxy, producing racially biased outcomes with scientific authority. Example: A kidney function algorithm automatically adjusts results for "Black race," delaying transplant referrals for Black patients. It's published in a top medical journal.

Empirical Racism The smug belief that if you can count it and run statistics on it, it must be objective truth—ignoring that categories, sampling, and questions were shaped by colonial racism. Example: "But the arrest data clearly show more Black crime. I'm just following the numbers." Never mind that policing targets Black neighborhoods. Math-shaped bigotry.
