Living Near Racists Can Literally Make You Sick

Once again they assume causation where they have no reason to. Too many subscribe to that cum hoc ergo propter hoc mindset.
I would instead suggest that the reason for the lower health standards and the higher incidence of racial prejudice stem from the same cause, and one doesn't follow the other, but rather exist together.
That being, the areas involved tend to be lower education, income, and standard of living areas.

While I agree your theory could be correct, as often two things hapenping at the same time are caused by the same route cause I can see lots of reasons while racism can make you sick directly. Any system that advocates violence increases the chance of violence (notice gun deaths in USA vs Canada) and any world view that ignores reality to support itself. The classic tv show trope of a racist refusing to get blood from the wrong race or be treated by a doctor of the wrong race for example.
But to suport yoiur point, on paper seat belts look like they cause car injuries. In fact, they convert deaths into injuries so before you might have 10 injuries and 10 deaths you now have 15 injuries and 5 deaths. The crash of course is the root cause.
Wait, is that actually a thing? You're informed of the race of the donor prior to receiving a transfusion???
Well it might be true to some extent, but given the skyrocketed property prices in GTA, u don’t always get to choose a location free of racists. And neighbours are humans as well, potentially they can turn racist anytime, like with the ongoing war it might click anti-Russian sentiment rather than anti-Putin. During pandemic, it was anti-Chinese.
It as a TV trope in the 70s mostly fictional. There are some possible real world situations of a white and a black person needing a rare blood type so the donor is know but how often that came up in real life who knows?
The story is that Charles Drew, the creator of the blood bank, died because White doctors refused to give him a blood transfusion.
Apparently it is false : . To many African Americans the story was believable. In 1950 the South was still rigidly segregated, and Black Americans were often denied treatment in hospitals -- sometimes because the hospitals did not have vacant "Negro beds," and sometimes because the hospitals were for Whites only. Drew received emergency medical attention, but many Black Americans did not.
It certainly was a think as it was illegal to mix blood at one point from races, and people would not risk getting blood if they where in a mixed blood race area at one point.
Though some doctors are claiming race blood should be brought back"
Why blood can be racially or ethnically specific
A successful transfusion relies on sameness, but blood can be racially specific
Currently the issue is mostly religious based not racial. Gay blood was only recently allowed but that still debated.
Racial segregation of blood in the USA and South Africa are well know
Racial segregation of blood in the United States & the true patriots who put an end to it
We “feel that because we are Americans . . . we should try to overlook the conduct of your organization, in order to lend aid to our country in this time of need.” This was the message attached to the $5 donation given to the Red Cross by an all-black Girl Scout troop in Brooklyn, New York, during W

As I follow the old definition of racism I disagree that humans can go racist anytime. Racism is an ideology. Just like someone who is socialist might go capitalist by buying something off of Amazon there still socialist - they might have done a capitalist act. Ukrainians in Ukraine are anti Russian for example but no racist. They are being hunted by Russians and have to assume Russians are dangerous until they are proven to be not (like being captured.) anti-Russian sentiment or anti-XY sentiment alone does not make one racist - and even in extremes it might be jingoist - to be racist you have to both dislike someone AND think they are inferior to you. Disliking a group because they are in competition with you is another variant entirely - often Jingoism. They key difference is one things other races are not human and the other seems then as human but has reason (real or not) to dislike them.
That being said I know racism is used in speech for creedism, Jingoism, sexism and a bunch of other ism and bigiotry combined.
So lets hope the US supreme court gets rid of sickening affirmative action and its sickening supporters.Living among racists can literally make you sick

Pssst, a little hint: Its going down.
While I agree in general affirmative action is a bad policy because of the racist tone I suspect that most supporters are good intention. That being said I think most Nazis under Germany where also well intention with the apex being the good Nazi's that films have been made such as John Heinrich Detlef Rabe (23 November 1882 – 5 January 1950) was a German businessman and Nazi Party member best known for his efforts to stop war crimes during the Japanese takeover of Nanjing (Nanking) and his work to protect and help Chinese civilians during the massacre that ensued.
Well Said… I appreciate your train of thoughts. The point I am trying to make is that Regimes have power. While I am not pro-Russia but In my opinion the average Russian does not intend to kill others, it’s the Putin Regime. But the media projection and audience perception can often times, create misconceptions.
Like with the origins of COVID virus, and Trumps references of Chinese virus. Again I am neutral but media projection lead to an anti-Chinese sentiment. Much later the news also emerged that the lab had some American research investment as well.
Now the Ukraine biological labs have appeared in the media although I don’t know the reality.
To sum up: I feel Media has power to invoke racism if they are biased, or have a hidden agenda, and keep repeating any rant over and over again.
Regards,
Yes there is a danger of simplification leading to racism by ignoring complexity -and of course media makes money by staring fires. But fear of this can also lead to harm as well. SARS1 was stopped in Toronto because the fact it came was China was treated just as that - a fact. The fear of causing racism had people ignoring masks walking in China town and refusing to put a stop to the spreed from China ultimately causing millions of deaths and the creation of racism from well intentioned by horrible anti-racism (a sub branch of racism when extreme.)
Its a complex issue and while racism as a rule is less than it was we still have genocide appearing locally ever so often.
Indeed, you seem to have an in depth understanding on this topic, from what I observed. Seems like you did sort of major/minor on this subject genre in school. Good to read it from ur standpoint.
What? None of that made any sense?Indeed, you seem to have an in depth understanding on this topic, from what I observed. Seems like you did sort of major/minor on this subject genre in school. Good to read it from ur standpoint.
Ha! This from the most racist fucker on here. If you’d been born White you’d be wearing a bed sheet and burning crosses.
