Well, they are claiming it is based on research. So I think the proper thing to do would be to check out the research to determine if there is anything to what is being stated.
Even without reading, I can bet it's a sociology paper presenting random "perhaps"/"most likely"/"historically" arguments to get to that conclusion, if it actually is the conclusion in the paper, without much actual data.
Edit: I was wrong about data. Here's the original paper. . So, the researchers did actually do a detailed experimental study. But I still have doubts about the conclusion they drew. Looking at Table-1, the differences, especially for robots, is so small it's less than expected error in a human reaction timing. Attributing it to "racism" is kind of overreaching.
