Diabetes and other risk factors for those in the inner cities make them more succeptable to poor outcomes and also having to go to shittier/overworked health facilities. Also, being poor means you wait longer before you go to the hospital.
Like, why are other races so much more likely to be poor, obese, suffering from diabetes, asthma, hmm... could it be systematic racism? Na, just a coincidence.
Edit: I shut my inbox notifications off last night. Thanks to all the Really Smart Men proving the point. We even got a doctor to point out there’s a genetic component to disease. Newsflash: genetic components exist for plenty of diseases and medication responses (like asthma medications). That doesn’t change systematic inequities
This guy co-hosts a podcast called Citations Needed, and it is amazing. Very insightful, informative, and not exactly "fun" (due to the serious topic matter), but manages to be entertaining anyway.
