Thank you Uche for highlighting this study that help us better understand noticeable recent trends in medical racism are not new phenomena. Race-based assumptions about Black people not only influence disability classification and benefit outcomes but almost all areas of our lives. Diagnosis of a Black person presenting with health-related conditions to doctors and at healthcare facilities are mostly based on age-old assumptions about our presumed inferiorities and differences. These racist assumptions are not based on objective scientific evidence, rather on social construction of otherness. Bringing this kind of evidence-based study into spaces like this gives us an opportunity to now challenge misdiagnosis and mistreatment of Black people, and all people marginalized by race, socioeconomics, gender, age, ableism, etc. Let’s keep the dialogue ongoing and create a paradigm shift that will move us forward.
