Plenty of studies claim schizophrenia is overdiagnosed in African-Americans. Here's one. Here's another.

Other experts have claimed that the very definition of schizophrenia changed to provide a label to apply to Black men who were considered violent.

My response was more to your stupid, contemptible comment about US and African Blacks and slave traders, though.

We now have DNA to look at ~ the argument should be over. The ethnographic studies ~ e.g. the Kaiser study over 40 years ~ were correct.

Regarding my comment on 'slavery', tell me oh mighty wazier just how did communities in the middle ages deal with schizophrenia?

I know but I bet you don't!

http://news.unchealthcare.org/news/2013/april/international-study-confirms-multiple-genes-contribute-to-schizophrenia-risk There’s the answer to ALL the studies who claim bias in diagnosis ~ it’s genetic. End of story. Let’s see ~ that’s 11 days ago ~ not everybody is all caught up. BTW, what societies have traditionally done when they had a person with schizophrenia around is send him or her to the next village. We still use that treatment in most of the world.
