For those of you who love conclusions drawn from studies, we now have hard evidence that conservative economic growth policies found in the South are much better for minorities. The important metric is economic opportunity. With that standard, the Conservative South is leading the way.

There is a lot to chew on there. A couple of money quotes:

“Blue state progressives are often the most vocal about expanding opportunities for minority homeownership but generally support land use and regulatory policies, notably in California, that tend to raise prices far above the ability of newcomers — immigrants, minorities, young people — to pay,”
And,

“Denunciations of racism, police brutality and xenophobia may be all well and good for one’s sense of justice, but if you want actually to improve the lives of minorities, we might consider focusing instead on policies that promote economic opportunity, keep living costs down, and allow for all Americans to enjoy fully the bounty of this country.”​
 
I'm disappointed. Interesting article, but it's not a "scientific study" that "shows conservative policies" are better. It's simply a very basic statistical tabulation that shows certain correlations that you the reader associate with conservatives.
