Not sure if serious:
An academic study published by University of Illinois researchers drew together findings from 42 different studies on trigger bias to examine whether race affects how likely a target is to be shot.
“In our study we found two main things: First, people were quicker to shoot black targets with a gun, relative to white targets with a gun. And … people were more trigger-happy when shooting black targets compared to shooting white targets.”
Cool study bro. So black targets have nothing to do with contrast and being able to spot hits, and have EVERYTHING to do with racism. Got it.
This is too much haha. You can check out the No More Black Targets site, if you want to go down that rabbit hole.
Thoughts?
