I would be very interested in and appreciative of any

I'm especially interested in comments about the

comments:

Since it is impossible to randomly assign to race, any analysis would
have to be quasi-experimental (aka non-experimental, aka observational),

In quasi-experimental work a great deal of the work is to rule out
plausible rival hypotheses that would be ruled out by a random
assignment to treatment. The link below identifies many of these
plausible rival hypotheses.
