b. False
According to Eduardo Bonilla-Silva in "Rethinking Racism," surveys that attempt to measure a population's racist attitudes are indeed considered by him as inadequate tools for social scientists studying racism. Bonilla-Silva argues that traditional survey methods may not capture the complexities and subtleties of contemporary racism, particularly the more subtle, institutional, and structural forms of racism. He advocates for a more nuanced and systemic understanding of racism that goes beyond individual attitudes, recognizing the role of institutions and systemic practices in perpetuating racial inequalities.
