    Here’s an example of what I meant.

    I’m more than happy to update my layman’s knowledge on this and I’m not coming at this from a place of racism.

    There are certain diseases or ailments that affect people of different ancestries. I myself have an autoimmune disease that has ancestry as a component.

    I promise I’m not trying to be harmful here and I’m open to education. I’m not going to give a website like realtoughlawyers.com the time of day though. There are real studies out there, real stats.

      I’m not googling shit for you bro, feel free to look up misdiagnosed rates its not a secret, go ahead and Google medical racism practices in the US historic and modern, it’s not a secret and it’s not hard to find the info, and people like you who fight to make sure we all associate skin tone with specific diagnosis are the absolute fucking problem.
