I call BS. CF affects all races.
I guess that since sickle cell anemia affects only black people, we should stop fundraisers for that disease, too. /s
Offhand, a university that supports this - Queer Womyn’s Week: October 16-20 Please stop by the Centre to check out all of the great events planned for those who identify as queer womyn - probably has no concept of how bizarre this decision was.
White MEN eh ? My son wasn’t a man when it killed him he was 3 months old !
Just another reason to want liberals Vanquished from the planet EVERYONE deserves a shot at life and birth so this college and ones who think like it can go straight to Hell ...!
Pure BS. Don’t let anyone go to this school. They are morons. I had a young female relative die of complications of CF.
Finally, a group I can support with PRIDE. That’s where my money will go.
Heterosexual White males - the new ni**ers.
My little niece, who died when she was 10, had cystic fibrosis. She didn’t die of that, but she was very sick with CF.
Student Associations - yesterday’s student yearbook committee,
today’s brainless campus twits,
and tomorrow’s journalists and politicians
Your risk is also greater if you're of Northern European ancestry. In that case, you have a one in 29 chance of carrying the gene. Among other ethnic groups in the United States, Hispanics have a one in 46 chance of carrying the gene, blacks have a one in 65 chance and Asian-Americans a one in 90 chance.
Prevalence among sexes is also about equal, though females may tend to die at a younger age from it.
Where the heck is Carlton University anyway? What evil morons.
Any disease that kills anyone so horribly deserves to be fought. Why are we so racist to even be looking at the skin colors or genders of disease victims? Nazis killed any Jew they found because to them, Jews were not human. Libs are half the way there already.
Sounds like the powers that be at that school, walking across a battlefield of war wounded, would step on the whites and males to get to the minority victims. I guess now whites have become “infidels” and worthy of death and disease, to liberals worshiping their god of diversity uber alles.
The only person I know with one CF gene is Hispanic, not that it should ever matter to ANYONE.
I proudly donate to “sixty five roses” foundation. (That is how they teach children who have it, to say it.)
My friend Jane has this disease and is about 50. She is sick all the time, though. Her sister is very sick with it and she can’t even go around her. Her grandson is a carrier.
