Psychology Today Apologizes For Racist “Study”

So… once upon a time… Psychology Today posts this.

…and then, they apologized:

Last week, a blog post about race and appearance by Satoshi Kanazawa was published–and promptly removed–from this site. We deeply apologize for the pain and offense that this post caused. Psychology Today’s mission is to inform the public, not to provide a platform for inflammatory and offensive material. Psychology Today does not tolerate racism or prejudice of any sort. The post was not approved by Psychology Today, but we take full responsibility for its publication on our site. We have taken measures to ensure that such an incident does not occur again. Again, we are deeply sorry for the hurt that this post caused.

~Kaja Perina, Editor in Chief

So… what now? Do we think they’ve acknowledged the err of their ways? Do you think there’s more punishment to be doled out? Will you visit their site or support them again? What do you think?
