There are a couple of problems with these "findings" and the conslusion they came to.
1) As others have pointed out, searching for the "n-word" is not in and of itself even a racist act.
2) The whole notion of the study is based on the principle that white people are searching the words, and that makes them racist. Here' s the problem though, that completely ignores the other half of the equation- what about black-on-white racism? I guarantee you if you had a real study done on "racism" city-by-city, a place like Detroit, with it's very large and "urban" culture, would be considered MUCH more more racist, same goes for New Orleans, Atlanta, pretty much every major city with a growing black infesta... population.
