Richard D. Alba, Noura E. Insolera, and Scarlett Lindeman, "Is Race Really So Fluid? Revisiting Saperstein and Penner’s Empirical Claims," American Journal of Sociology 122, no. 1 (July 2016): 247-262.
Alba and company destroy Saperstein/Penner. The other comment by Kramer and friends shows the whole thing doesn't even replicate. Crazy!

I think Usmani's AJS was accepted pre-job market.
Also, the article is really good. Shows a level of theoretical ambition rarely seen in contemporary sociology, but widely prized by top departments.lol yeah right. It’s warmed-over Acemoglu and Robinson with a touch of Marxism. Nothing remotely novel or ambitious about it. Plus the “instrument” is clearly non-excludable. I was surprised the article was published, let alone a job-getter.

There�s nothing inherently bad about something not replicating. It was all the other methods funny business that was the problem. Besides the implausible reasoning.
They obviously model hacked like crazy and then oversold the findings. But the fatal flaw is that the census data they used is completely inappropriate. Anyone who knows that 19th century data knows that they're modeling noise.

But there is something inherently bad with results not reproducing using the same data which is the case here
