Nowhere in the article do they mention requiring only peer-reviewed papers. They are looking for any sort of citation.

Here is his bio:
https://gvpt.umd.edu/facultyprofile/Banks/Antoine

Looking at his CV, here is other work he published:

Banks, Antoine J. and Heather Hicks. 2016.
“Fear and Implicit Racism: Whites’ Support for Voter ID laws” Political Psychology 37(5): 641-658.

Banks, Antoine J. and Nicholas A. Valentino 2014. “What Emotions Fuel Racism in America” American Journal of Political Science Blog, July 3, 2014

and so on...



So in other words, he's a competent source for analyzing racial animus in politics for having studied it his entire academic career.

Secondly, that they are providing some evidence to the contrary which you happen to take technical issue with does not negate the need for the other side to present any sort of supporting evidence whatsoever.

So the cornerstone of your suspicion surrounding this work is the legitimacy of an academic study with 1300 citations?

It sounds like you have the makings of your own working paper on the issue. I look forward to discussing it after you publish and it makes the rounds on the blogosphere.
