I've never heard of Black troops being more susceptible to cold injury.
Do they get frostbite easier?
WTF?
I'm thinking this is BS.

Well, when you wear a ragged shirt, baggy pants and old worn out shoes in the freezing cold, what else would you expect?

I have heard the same thing ie: blacks being more susceptible to cold injury. I remember a TV program a long time ago ( Nat Geo?) looking into the same thing. It all came down to the the presence of “Brown Fat” deposits in the individuals. Slavs.Eastern Europeans,Russians or Caucasians in general had higher levels and it helped stave off cold related conditions whereas Sub Saharan ethnic types had little to no Brown Fat which regulated tolerance to cold.

So the folks who originated “pants on the ground” now want to sue someone cause they froze thier butt off?
I can’t take much more of this world-wide psych ward.

No way. We’ve all been told race is just a social construct.

We always welcome winter here in Minnesota. It always assures a lower crime rate for about 6 months. A countermeasure has been devised:
