Perhaps there is some quality of the x rays themselves that is different? Maybe white people tend to visit hospitals with newer, better equipment or better trained radiographers and the model is picking up on differences in the exposures from that.

- gbasin 4y agoInteresting hypothesis but I can't tell if you're being serious
