Showing interest in the subject is therefore Bayesian evidence for B as much as it is for A.

In the same sense that showing interest in medicine is Bayesian evidence for me wanting to poison my neighbors.

I'd say that the percentage of people showing interest in medicine that want to poison their neighbour is rather lower than the percentage of people talking about genetic differences between race being racist.

That depends on the definition of "racist" used.
