Clearly, racist beliefs are not based on science, but hate. But isn’t IG disingenuous to act like there are no biological differences between different groups? Aren’t black people in particular suffering, because drugs are geared towards white people? It’s probably gotten better, but I remember reading articles about this. A lot of drugs were/are primarily tested on young, white men. And as a consequence, women and people of color had to deal with drugs that didn’t work as well for them or did hurt them. It goes deeper than that, but my point is that there are biological differences between different groups and we need to be aware of that.
