Interestingly, statistics like those, from that very game, are being used to make the argument that people have an "implicit racial bias" against blacks in the Police on Police Shootings study commissioned by Governor Patterson of New York.
So before these "scientists" pick up on "implicit racial bias", they might want to do a bit more in depth research.
I also question whether 37ms is a statistically significant different in reaction time. That's about 5% faster in the case that you quote, but we're still talking milliseconds.
Too many pseudo-scientists and social scientists who get their exercise from jumping to conclusions that are not supported by data.
