At risk of giving this bullshite study a status which it doesn't deserve (response-worthy), I will point out that these can be corollary and not causal relationships. It can come down to basic low self esteem issues. Could it not be said that if it isn't a racial esteem issue these people might just find something else to feel down on themselves?

Well said. The results are interesting and deserve to be published; however, because there are so many other variables or factors that could account for this relationship, it is rather presumptuous to make definitive statements about causation. This turns an interesting study into pure sensationalism and borders on junk-science.
