In my experience, sociologists tend to already have a baked-in bias in regard to the default belief that race and sex (and sometimes gender or sexuality) are already at the very top of the intersectional hierarchy (aka "Oppression Olympics").

Quantitative sociological study can run the risk of downplaying intersectional factors that haven't been explored with greater depth, such as disability, age, religion, and partisanship. Since there would already be an absence of such research on those factors, comparatively, when juxtaposed with factors such as race and sex, I'm not sure that such sociological data could be compiled in good faith, at this juncture in time.
