But it seems when they show the “oldest person in America” more often than not, they’re Black.
With respect, even if true, doesn’t negate what I wrote.
The general health problems are well known. Diabetes and kidney problems along with sickle cell, take their toll. They also are way more prone to have obesity issues that shorten lifespan significantly.
I have seen plenty of whites and asians also as the oldest person around. It does change kinda often given the ages we are talking about.
