Exactly - the data in this case is deliberately skewed, and the plot by K is an exceptionally racist interpretation of the data.

If all we do is add more data, we're never challenging the problem of people (a) abusing data to promote racism and (b) making OA look bad

I didn't say "add more data". I said challenge them with open data (ideally the same data they use). That's the whole point of open science.

The data is often unethically sourced.

Doesn't this invalidate the notion that he is using open science in the first place?

Absolutely not. He is using it explicitly as a shield. Check out his work.

he isn't using open science, but runs two bullshit journals called Open[something] and justifies his work using the open science label

Sounds like something that should be called out. As I said, it's important to fight the impression that this is what open science is.

Yes probably! :) But I understand why lots of people are defensive about this. Bullshit should be called out by anyone.

I'll tell you who won't call it out apart from just basic racists. Scientists against openness, who will jump at the opportunity to tar us.

And this is why I say there is indeed a problem. But imo the solution to this problem is open science as well.
