Read it for yourself, it's basically an editorial review of several "studies" blaming poor sleep in non-whites mainly on "system racism."
"And research points to systemic racism as the major, underlying cause." "“Racial and ethnic sleep disparities can be considered the consequence of preventable structural and institutional, personally experienced, and internalized racism,” Dr. Jackson says was a bottom line point of the report."
I'm not saying that much of it doesn't make sense--the tie between sleep and health, for example--but don't you get tired of that same old boogeyman ("systemic racism") getting trotted out as the "major, underlying" cause of all the ills of "the marginalized"?

I’m tired of race-bigots lying to me.

Is there anything that “systemic racism” can’t do?

Neighbors making noise, loud music, hanging out on the street in the small hours, loudly, can’t ask anyone to turn it down because then you’ll have trouble with them....black neighbors in a black neighborhood. How is that racism?
Obesity and apnea, crowded dwellings because of poverty, I don’t buy the case for racism, but at least I can see it.
Not the noise.

Top Secret research. Research you are not allowed to know the details of.

So that’s why they went all FBI on the 7-11. They couldn’t sleep. And it’s whitey’s fault.

A lot of these “scientific studies” are simply not true. But they do serve to reinforce the validity of The Bell Curve.

Does it ever occur to some people that correlation is not causation.
It’s not lack of sleep that causes the problems, but likely, the problems causing the sleep problems.

My boss and I were on a business trip. At breakfast I told him I had slept unusually good, like the way I imagine an innocent man sleeps.
Just shook his head and didn’t ask any further questions...

It would be a lot easier if they would just tell us what’s not racist.
