Yes - we must make sure there is the proper balance of whites and blacks in every activity and endeavor.

Lets start counting white noses and black noses in the NFL, the NBA, state drivers license offices, TV ads, BET TV shows.....

And why aren’t there any whites in the Congressional Black Caucus?

It seems as if today everybody is a ‘victim’ of something or other.

Or, to put it another way — “scientifically, races are physically different, and need to be treated that way”

There is no such thing as “too many whites”.

Why don’t they just use the white volunteers like Mengele did? What use are white people, anyway?

There is actually some scientific validity to this.

Because despite the constant harangue of the diversity mongers, human beings DO differ by race in certain physiological ways.

In order to be able to treat everybody, you have to run trials with everybody.

If we’re not careful, before long it will be impossible to bring a new drug to market unless it has been separately tested for all races and all 57 genders ... and found to be equally effective on each and every one, lest a racist or heteronormative medicine enter circulation.

I’m going to go against the flow and say this is absolutely right. There can be significant differences between the races when it comes to medicine and denying it does everyone a disservice. For example, I’m a pathologist actively involved in cervical cancer prevention and diagnosis. The types of HPV that we test for and vaccinate against cause 70% of cervical cancer in whites but only about 33% in blacks. Meaning our current strategies are not reaching that part of the population adequately.

If research on white human bodies is not applicable to black bodies, are the black bodies human? Further, if the research on white bodies is not applicable to black bodies, why would one want to include them in a study? Theat would skew the results and render the study worthless to white or black.

Clinical trials ask for volunteers. If they don’t volunteer oh well

Would people complain if there are not enough whites in sickle cell studies?

I just know that my drug preventing ovarian cancer became twice as effective when I included men in the study. < /s>

As a scientific goal, having a societally valid cross-section of humanity in clinical trials is a very beneficial goal, but participation is always voluntary, and therefore is not likely to be perfectly symmetrical with society.

Any attempt to coerce minorities to increase participation or whites to decrease is eugenic murder.

Isn’t being in a clinical trial voluntary?

After that Tuskegee STD deal Blacks don’t volunteer much. Once burnt, twice shy.

I wouldn't put anything past the researchers in these product trials. I remember scandals when it turned out that the effects of birth control pills on women had been tested only on men, and the nutritional value of childrens' breakfast cereal.

In the latter instance, a debunking group fed groups of rats only the cereal and water. The rats all died of various nutritional deficiencies, Then the debunking group fed other groups of rats empty ground-up cardboard cereal boxes mixed with milk. All the rats thrived.
