Don't think you did. Provide proof/sources.I read an article I think on cnn where black people in America originally didn’t think they could get the virus because it only effected white Americans.
Sickle cell.Could be because blacks are more susceptible to some diseases than whites like diabetes, asthma, lung cancer, HBP and more.
No it is caused by inequality.Could be because blacks are more susceptible to some diseases than whites like diabetes, asthma, lung cancer, HBP and more.
Seems you are the pot calling the stainless steel kettle black.When most people have their racism and double standards exposed they are smart enough not to double down on their racism.
Not you.
Do you really think there is some genetic basis for this claim or do you think the connection has more to do with poverty and the poor eating habits often connected with it?Could be because blacks are more susceptible to some diseases than whites like diabetes, asthma, lung cancer, HBP and more.
There were some fringe opinions on it. https://youtu.be/SeNlhO4z1gwI read an article I think on cnn where black people in America originally didn’t think they could get the virus because it only effected white Americans.
I'm sure that some whites also thought it was an Asian problem.

I'm not sure in this particular case that's why I said it could be. But yes, there is a possibility in relation to genetics. I was looking at a study and it said that even adjusting the socioeconomic factor Blacks had twice the amount of diabetes than Europeans. We know that having a underlying disease makes you more vulnerable. Different groups have genetic factors involved, Latinos and some East Indians have genetic fatty liver, genetics is not something new.Do you really think there is some genetic basis for this claim or do you think the connection has more to do with poverty and the poor eating habits often connected with it?
'Blacks' are not a monolithic group. So far, has the virus torn through the Caribbean and Africa like it has Europe? How are Afro-Canadians faring?I'm not sure in this particular case that's why I said it could be. But yes, there is a possibility in relation to genetics.
