"BMI isn't very accurate especially for Sub-saharan Africans. For instance, some sub-saharan african women have a BMI of 30+ but when you see them in person, you wouldn't categorize them as “obese”"
AAAAHAHAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHHHAAA
Peeps agree they are totally not faaaaaaaaaaaaat
CONTEXT!!!!
Okay let me explain,
despite all the circlejerk liberals and shitlibs make, there are distinct differences between races on earth, no matter how taboo it is to discuss amongst woke people, medical careerists do have to take racial differences into account when treating their patients.
Examples:
The earwax of caucozoids is sticky/wet and very comparatively thick, whilst the earwax of SAE asian peeps tend to be papery and dry, and the treatment towards earcleaning can be downright dangerous between the races. You will often see these ASMR asian ear cleaning spas and shit in china where a lot of chinese go to for relaxation in their mystical ancient chinese 1000 year old Kung Fu bullshit about how smearing mud on your face will help lengthen the youth of your skin for the next 50 years.
https://www.sciencenews.org/blog/gory-details/what-your-earwax-says-about-your-ancestry
https://www.livescience.com/593-earwax-wet-dry.html
Basically anything on this youtube channel
https://youtube.com/@ShiliASMR
Basically the general rule is that asians can afford to clean their ears more often than westoids like caucasians, if your earwax is wet, then basically you NEED that shit in your ear, as it's a secretion to protect your sensitive eardrums from dust and bacteria and foreign crap. Usually only when they start blocking up your ear canal is a good idea to remove it by flushing it out after a few days of waxxol or whatever .
In terms of skin, Dermatologists nead to be very careful in subscribing cream to africans which could be downright toxic, even if they are nothing but beneficial to asians or whites.
African frizzy or curly hair react differently to shampoos meant for whitoids and can downright cause bad hygiene, it's so fricking prevalent in Burgerland whitoid foster parents who adopt african kids, and use shampoo and skincare products from whitoids, that the kids inevitably grow calcified dreadlocks which are horrifically unhygienic, and whitoid parents WTF is happening to my baby's hair, it keeps going all wonky now matter now much I wash it reeeeeee
To such extent that there are websites dedicated to the skin and hair care for mayo foster parents of chocolate kids
https://cacaregivers.org/texturedhair
https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/afro-black-hair-identity
https://www.fosteradopt.org/blog/resources/black-hair-care-tips-for-foster-parents
"my whitoid parents tried to give me a life away from the orphanage, but they fricked up my black hair now im not cool anymore wahwahwah"
Didn't even begin for mayo foster parents
Anyways you guys get the idea, there are diistinct and extreme physiological differences between races to the extent that doctors may not be advised to give patients of different races the same medication as it would be toxic to their biologies.
So there is genuine sincere precedent in which the application of medical norms to people of different races can have adverse effects - example in burgerland, the majority race is Mayos, and thus research tend to be overwhelmingly towards mayo subjects for research and experiments, this can have unintended consequences for people of different races if those same methodologies or medicine is used for other races like blacks or asians.
Many basketball americans had complained that they had suffered mistreatment at the hands of white doctors who prescribed to them treatments not suitable for black patients, and while the usual woke crowd will over inflate this, there has been historical president of black women receiving less or no painkillers during treatment of surgery by white doctors, for whatever reason, like the false belief that black women have less sensitivity than their white peers.
https://www.jpain.org/article/S1526-5900(09)00775-5/fulltext
https://capitalbnews.org/black-women-pain
Once again it's near impossible to get a non-wingcucked research into this subject as wokoids will overinflate a very real occurence, but the point remains there had been a very long history since over a hundred years ago in burgerland, of blacks, and especially black women, receiving less care and painkillers, whether in birthing a baby or surgery or basially any form of injury by a noticeable amount.
The takeaway is that there is sincere historic cause for american blacks to have some amount of hesitancy towards health norms applied by a nation with a mostly white dominant population, HOWEVER
Which brings us to BMI and /r/Afirca
1st - there is genuine physiological differences between the manner in which fat and weight is distributed between men, women, and people of different races - specifically whites and blacks
2nd - Just like the biological differences in earwax of eastoids VS westoids, and hair hygiene between caucozoids and BIPOCS, so too is the margins of how BMI is calculated to determine the weight health of a person of african or european descent - specifically black women due genuinely by actual hard research have larger margins of healthy weight supposedly on average so that black kweens should have larger ranges before being considered obese as the BMI had been mostly calculated via white test subjects
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2886596
However
HOWEVER
H.O.W.E.V.E.R.
The ACTUAL amount of margin differences between mayo and black women for default boy health is fricking inconsequential lmoa, by all the research i had skimmed, it had been in the order of a pathetic 10% difference
In laymen's terms, to have the BMI calculated for our Kweens you are supposed to adjust the BMI by a order of 10% increase or whatever
SO IN OTHER WORDS: if a mayo b-word is obese at 30 BMI, then a black kween would only be obese at 33 BMI, and so on.
But the r-sluration of these FAT activists is that they misunderstand the application of the BMI, and it's usually only the fricking morbidly obese fatoids who try to cope using the challenge that BMI was invented by the evil Burgerlands white supremacy to keep kweens down and make them feel fatter than they already are
Thus there is perpetual fricking cope I see online from black burgers and africans about the supposed invalidity of the White Supremacist BMI!
When in reality what often happens is that a fat black b-word of BMI 35 will b-word and moan that actually! she is not obese because she is over 30 BMI, nonono, instead we must adjust the BMI - but in reality if we adjust the BMI with that fabled pathetic inconsiquential 10%, the margin for obesity is STILL FRICKING 33 BMI!!!!!
AND SHE'S STILL FRICKING OBESE LMOA
Right sorry fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally back to /r/Africa cope
The map is inaccurate , WRONG THESHOLDS!!!

Doctors that handle emergency visits and those "fast care" clinics that don't require appointments are generally reluctant to hand out pills to anyone who comes off the street and demands them. So if a disproportionately high rate of black people visit, demand drugs, and get denied, then maybe it's no surprise that blacks are less likely to get prescribed.
Sounds darning, but pain can be hard to verify:
Yeah, thought so.
This is weird:
It's racist! It's racist! The whole system is racist!!!!
If there's no systemic bias for the treatment scenarios, except for the one for "non-definitive" pain, then why would you strongly conclude that black people are being [under]diagnosed for pain complaints becaues of their skin color?
I also wonder how many were insured or at least had medicare and how that would affect the results. If 80% of the black patients had medicare, then the low prescription rate for reducing a pain that can't be objectively verified isn't surprising.
Well, are they? Is there a disprortionately higher rate of black drug addicts? There sure seems to be in my city.
But forget about the evidence! They _is_ racist!
Black people pain, much like voodoo and Ancient Blackened Ways of Learning from the Hotep Days, is based and 'd on a plane that the White Mind cannot comprehend.
In the US, it's a 1-10 scale where you mark how much you're in pain. Then you're asked follow up questions, and if possibly related to your muscles, joints, bones, whatever they move your limb or head around to elicit a response of pain. If they're really not seeing that, and you mark your pain as 10, then you'd be reasonable in assuming they're exagerrating or outright full of shit.
This reminds me of higher violent crime rates from blacks (an outcome), and people looking at that as indicative of a systematic racist bigoted bully society when it's almost entirely due to more black people committing violent crimes.

I'm a primary care doctor. I've gotten into debates with colleagues recently about race guided care. There's evidence that says that certain medications work better in different races. Races generally have slight differences in how they metabolize drugs etc. Woke docs are getting away from using race to guide medicine because it sets different standards of care but to me if the evidence says some drugs work better depending on race, you're fricking somebody over by prescribing whatever you want

The most cited studies regarding race-based differences got their conclusions generally from subgroup analysis (not from studies actually designed to find racial differences). In addition, none of the studies I've seen actually say how they categorize people-- is it by skin color? Place of birth? Place of parents' birth? Elon Musk is African, remember.

Race is too limiting, a Nigerian (Yoruba) and an Ethiopian (Habesha) can have the genetic difference akin to a Finn and Japanese. Ideally drugs should be prescribed and tailored to the individual, that's where that newish field of pharmacogenetics can help. With a full genetic profile, you can better judge how an individual reacts and metabolises any given medication.
We're still far from this (not to mention weighing the ethics behind mass genomic sequencing), so I agree, docs should stick to the current literature instead of IdPol'ing treatment.
