Sure if you had the stats folder with pdfs and links to contribute to the parent post that would be great!

But you can contribute with supporting or counter logic if thats the kind of signaling you like
Last time I encountered these sorts of claims on HN I did the above research and the results surprised me. I'd like to find time to further narrow this research as you suggest above, and I suspect I'd find evidence of discrimination, as I suspected the last time. Though I will keep an open mind. In the meantime I would remind you to remember the burden of proof is traditionally on what is being claimed--not on disproving a claim.
