- The study on mortgages refutes the claim that government studies are
- not biased to be Politically Correct. Given that is has been established
- that in today's society, the government does inject such bias, that
- a study was done by the government does not give it a defacto seal of
- correctness.

- Exactly. The fact that the details of the study continue to be repeatly
- kept secret defines it as suspect. As we see here in a second attempt,
- rather than dispute my claim with facts, the typical attempted character
- assassination of the pro-racism side in employed. Since it would be
- so easy to dispute my claim with the details of this study, keeping
- them secret enforces my claim that the specifics of the study are
- flaw as with the government's mortgage study.
