"How much of the supposedly inherent white racism in the medical establishment as evidenced by worse mortality and morbidity is really due to the genetic predispositions of people of color in latitudes that their ancestors didn't evolve to inhabit?"

One also wonders what the neurological effects might be, potentially explaining blacks underperformance on IQ tests and other measures of average intelligence. Twould be worthwhile to re-plot the data with Vit. D conc. vs tested IQ. Maybe all we need to get more black conservatives is to pass out free Vitamin D supplements.
