That's not a consequence of being non-white so much as it is a consequence of your doctor being uninformed, which impacts people of all races.

I'm not saying it doesn't suck, I just take issue with your narrative of how race is the issue at hand, and how the medical system is bigoted towards minorities.

It's not just the medical system. It's just reality. I live with it. I'm okay with it. I'd just rather not these disparities be magnified and exacerbated by universalizing something which shouldn't be.

But it impacts minorities in the most general sense (i.e. not just color of skin) more than non-minorities. For fundamental reasons, studies are less statistically reliable, for starters.

I should remind you also that my father is being cared for under a universal system (the VA) I think that the unversality of it does play into the way that the doctors are informed.
