EM POC ONLY!!!
This is home for me.
I love all of my comrades on c/em_poc, but I wanna especially give a huge shoutout to @sweet_pecan@hexbear.net for doing a lot to help me keep my composure. I don't know if they quite realize how much I appreciate them!
Each and every single one of you makes me feel less alone through these struggles, though.
I hope all of you are well!
There was like a survey done that found a find number of nurses and doctors that believed that black people have higher pain tolerance than white people
I remember that or a similar study.
Shit sucks because it feels like there's no in between. Just full on dehumanization on one end and dangerous misinformation in the other. Like I myself have some of that skeptcisim, especially when it come to mental health, but its grounded in history and studies such as the one that you mentioned.
