It turns out when you stop scaling analyses based on the racist and incorrect assumption that Black people naturally have lower lung capacity, more Black people are diagnosed with moderate to severe COPD, move up the lung transplant priority list, qualify for additional screenings... 🧪🩺

Who comes up with such rubbish in the first place? Why is US medicine so full of unevidenced racist nonsense?

I remember hearing that racist cuttoffs for kidney function are also used by Drs, which means they make Black people wait until they are sicker before getting the treatment that white people get earlier in the disease. I think it was kidney? Anyway. This is so messed up and must be changed.

I’m consistently stunned that the same people understand skin color doesn’t matter and there’s no evidence for different intelligence and different races, etc., will go on to say that Black people should have higher blood pressure and lower lung capacity on average. Mind-bogglingly racist.

Same thing happened on the kidney txp list after we stopped assuming black people naturally had lower kidney function 🙄
