>“These studies were based on really hyperactive young white boys who were taken to clinics,” Littman says.

I don't really get what lines like this are supposed to be getting at. Why is race mentioned here at all? I'm now left wondering if there is also some effect of race on ADHD symptoms, in which case I feel like the quote was not really used honestly (used partly out of context- how much of this is due to gender and how much to race?) or whoever said the quote spoke incorrectly because they felt that the young boys also being white would drive home their point more.
