stop. this is harmful. if you think someone of african descent has the same risk of sickle cell as someone of south asian descent and ignore a diagnosis based on that assessment you might be committing medical malpractice.
- sigmoid10 1y agoYou seriously need to open a history book to get some perspective on what is actually harmful with this agenda. As for the science, maybe check out wikipedia on human genetics [1]. You'll find tons of further sources there. >The lack of discontinuities in genetic distances between human populations, absence of discrete branches in the human species, and striking homogeneity of human beings globally, imply that there is no scientific basis for inferring races or subspecies in humans, and for most traits, there is much more variation within populations than between them.

- throwawaymaths 1y agowell as a member of a non white race, I have had a family member die because white doctors misprescribed a drug (statin) at a dosage inappropriate for my race.

There are tons of conditions that can influence absorption and metabolic access within a single population. Literally what was quoted above. That is not the same as race ideology.
