The key seems to be that this is about the most taboo 'topics', not the most taboo 'acts'.

I'm sure that talking about the genetic differences between races/subspecies
is only considered more taboo than 'talking' about incest and paedophilia,
not 'committing' them.

One can only hope.

500 Americans? Did they do this Portland or Woodlands, Texas? Looks like Portland.

Yeah, they missed a few good options for taboo subjects tho imo.

Hmm 🤔 a sample size of 500 is pretty small tho
