    Blacks often report higher pain intensity than other cultures

    Isn't this code for "they're faking it"? Holy shit.

    What book is this from?

        We found the author lmao

        Knowing what groups tend to over/state pain is useful

        So let me get this straight, you think there are ethnic groups out there as an aggregate that "overstate" pain? You really think that's a fuckin phenomenon that exists, did I hear you right?

            this happened to me when i was a kid and broke my arm and my bone was literally sticking out of my skin at the hospital. my dad had to threaten to kill people to get me pain medications. he actually spent a night in jail over it, but i did get the meds.

            This isn't an issue of data, it's an issue of racist drivel being presented as medical science, people in this thread have already presented the actual data for your "questions" and surprise! Yes medical professionals are trained to expect black people to lie about pain because they're literally taught black people don't experience pain, THAT'S THE REAL WORLD DATA

            See we're dealing with the dire reality of racism in the medical field and you think it's simply an issue of not having data, one: we already have the data, two: racists don't give a fuck about data, that's why the black category can only be read as "they're lying" because the rest of the categories are filled with indefensible bigotry and cartoonish caricatures, that reveals the mindset of the editor and author of the section, as such they cannot be treated as any sort of reliable transmitter of inferred data, especially when the real data contradicts their racist assertions

                I swear in one ear out the other, real sus shit from our little lemm.ee visitor, there is no "findings" to be presented, there is no "context" to massage the racist drivel in that book, it's all garbage, the actual data (that has already been posted in this thread, which you have ignored) contradicts everything in that trash section

                It's not about presentation, there is no "good" fashion for displaying racism, the information itself is bogus and cartoonishly bigoted, how this isn't obvious to you speaks volumes about your ignorance concerning racial subjects, but hey you're cracker so I guess I have to grade you on a curve

                  Almost like these sorts of liberals are just frothing at the mouth for the excuse to be racist because "it isn't racist, it's just science! So I can hurl all the slurs I want! The science backs me up!"

                I think that suppression of knowledge isn't a good course

                You really have to touch grass and actually listen to people who are experts in epistomology and medical science, they will have very contrary opinions to yours.

                Focault prison did do some good showing some development of medical institutions, you yourself just think that stuff is neutral now and you also think that text book racism is "data" and "knowledge" which it isn't.

                You also defend the "data" form a racist text book now and bound much more time than if you had stayed silent and instead read the links and sources in the thread which link to papers and articles challenging the racist ideas of "blacks no pain tolerace".

        Hiding this information doesn't serve anyone.

        The page presented is so incredibly racist that if you really wanted to "aggregate data to find trends" you would have to erase this garbage and start over anyway. So I really don't get what you're saying.

        I give you a hint: Don't try to find justification for obvious racist propaganda, instead read what is written in the thread and listen to the answers you got. Go read anti racist books and listen to marginalized groups. You are carrying water for unempirical "scientific racism" here, that is still used to this day to decrease the quality of service for plenty of people.

        If you want to be taken serious you don't have to be neutral in themes of racism (which would be better what you do here), but you have to be anti racist.

        The problem is we don't have an objective way to measure pain

        No anti-cracker-aktion, the problem here is racism. Also: Bullshit "objective measurements".

      Blacks often report higher pain intensity

      plus

      Black people don't feel pain

      makes for a horrifying revelation of the depth of the impunity they feel when they enact violence and indifference on black bodies

      I knew it was bad, but jfc

        Black people don't feel pain

        makes for a horrifying revelation of the depth of the impunity they feel when they enact violence and indifference on black bodies

        That particular falsehood has roots in America's history of slavery. From the same racist doctor who decided that slaves fleeing captivity had "drapetomania":

        Dr. Samuel Cartright, for instance, wrote that blacks bore a “[racist slur] disease [making them] insensible to pain when subjected to punishment”

    I came across this post on Reddit initially and one of the comments accompanying the thread pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter lmao

    Whites: cracker

    Whites are likely to request pain medication no matter the circumstance. In White mythology, pain medication is seen as sacred and is used in a ritual process called "getting high"

    Willing to admit and prone to exaggerate pain as it elevates their status to show others how much their life sucks

    Some Whites will reject medical procedures until traditional witchcraft practices such as "homeopathy" and "chicken noodle soup" are tried first

    According to White lore, persons with skin tones darker then uncooked pizza dough are subhuman animals. Whites are likely to reject medical attention from such persons and request a similarly melanin-deficient nurse or doctor to treat them

    They may ask for your birthday as they believe your whole-ass personality is determined by it according to their sacred calendar

    Will ask for the manager

      idk the Jewish one and the "Blacks often report higher pain intensity than other cultures" (counterpoint: black reports of pain are more often ignored or downplayed) seem, like, precision-engineered racist while that Native American one seems more like a low-effort caricature.
