    Alright real question here. I’ve noticed after I came on reddit and Lemmy, something I believe I’ve only seen in American media.

    Why is it so important to mention people’s skin colour all the time? This affects 100.000 Americans, and then they mention most are black?!

    Why does that matter? I can’t figure out why on earth they want to divide people up in race like that, like they are a different people. A different kind of Americans.

    It’s not hard to figure out why Americans are so divided, if they get talked about like a different group of people based on skin colour.

      Because being black isn’t just a skin color. It also includes a genetic predisposition to this disease.
