The medical community ALREADY factors in race in many cases, due to REAL DIFFERENCES in people of various races, such as blacks with Sickle Cell.

So is it really THAT HARD to have different BMIs for the races, if that’s even needed?

The medical community here on planet earth DOES NO SUCH THING.

Race is a social science construct.
Unless one needs comfort then we make up any old stuff and sickle cell!!!

I do hear they use it for physical science purposes on Planets: Dim Leftards and Dimmer Racetards.

They already have a separate BMI for East Asians that factors in their smaller frames and lower bone density. Seems to me it wouldn't be difficult at all to make one for blacks.
