So why are their huge health disparities among different ethnic groups compared to those of European descent?
I too would like to know. No, I do know but there are far too many people who refuse to see the truth. There is an underlying racism - even in those who are not "outwardly" racist - that exists. It affects members of the health care industries, including those of non-European descent. It is a rampant disease that we have failed to cure. Why? It isn't necessarily ignorance or apathy. It's complacency.
