How do you study for social statistics?

[bits-and-pieces-am]

... most Americans seriously overestimate the percent of racial minorities in the population. ... 12.1 percent of the U.S. population is African American. More than half believe it is above 30 percent. Similarly, Jews make up about 3 percent of the U.S. population, but a majority (60 percent) of Americans believe the proportion to be 10 percent.

[The development of social statistics took two different paths] ...the second path was research on race development and eugenics. The work of Francis Galton on the statistical analysis of heredity, inspired by the evolutionary theory of his half-cousin Charles Darwin, first appeared in 1865, but was unable to win wider support until the 1890s. Towards the end of the century, governing classes in Europe and America became alarmed by evidence of what was considered the deterioration of racial quality, revealed in Britain by the difficulty of recruiting physically healthy soldiers for the South African war, and elsewhere by fears that the poor and the less physically fit were reproducing faster than the racially strong part of the population, leading to the risk of ‘race suicide’. Galton and his followers proposed controlled breeding to improve racial quality, and to counter the effects of the widening of voting rights. People are not ‘of equal value, as social units’, Galton warned, ‘equally capable of voting, and the rest’. To advance the study and improvement of racial quality, Galton developed new statistical methods. In fact, modern, mathematical statistics with its methods of correlation, regression and error analysis, was developed for the purpose of the eugenics movement.
