#racial differences

So as you may or may not know I’m writing a book where rare genetics play essential parts.

You might also know that i often call out for people to tell me their own experiences to include in my book because I do want to be authentic in it.

You may ALSO know that one of my characters is a white kid born to black parents.

Now i’ve had this the other way around too. It’s not that hard to find struggles of white people not knowing how to care for black people. But struggles of black people raising white people are very difficult to find. Now i’m talking about socially. Of course culture and stuff is also gonna be a bug part of it. And I don’t navigate that without at least one black person by my side. But what I’m talking about is specifically like,,, physical stuff? I’m sure that it isn’t as simple as “the other way around” as the struggles for white parents with black children. White people know a lot less about how to treat black hair and skin than black people do about white hair and skin. As i was told bu my dear friend who i’m just gonna call T. for now, that’s because of the lack of education on Black health vs White health. However she did say that for parenting that would look a LOT different.

That’s why I want to ask first anyone with personal experience, or who KNOWS someone woth personal experience or can give me recourses on that experience.

As a queer, neurodivergent and disabled, person i really care about people feeling represented in my book and half-assing it or being not authentic just won’t do.

So please tag your friends and mutuals or reblog this so i can reach as many people as possible, so i can find people to help me.

Just gonna tag some people here lol

Thorin would be up front with Dis, as he’s a very honest and honourable Dwarf. He doesn’t keep anything from his family or his people. And Thorin knows that he may encounter a backlash from his kin regarding you being human, but he knows that your love is true and cannot go against his heart. 

I can see Thorin approaching her to announce he is courting and as soon as Dis asks ‘Who is she?” he immediately tells her that you are human. It is the first thing he says; he wants to get the most crucial thing out of the way first. 

A little and simple drawings for The Internacional Women's day.

Metformin, an inexpensive FDA approved diabetes drug, has been recently re-purposed as a treatment for prostate cancer. It has been associated with a reduced incidence of prostate cancer and improved prostate cancer outcomes. 

Recent questions have risen asking whether race modifies the association between metformin use and prostate cancer aggressiveness.  To gain a better understanding of this issue the association between metformin use and prostate cancer aggressiveness was examined separately in Black Americans (Blacks) and White Americans (Whites).

The study population consisted of 305 Black and 195 White men with prostate cancer and self-reported diabetes from the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project. High-aggressive prostate cancer was defined using a composite measure of Gleason score, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and clinical staging. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association between metformin use and high-aggressive prostate cancer at diagnosis, separately among Whites and Blacks, with adjustment for age, screening history, site, education, insurance, and body mass index.

Metformin use was associated positively with high-aggressive prostate cancer in Blacks (OR 2.01; 95% CI 1.05, 3.83). By contrast, a weak inverse association between metformin use and high-aggressive prostate cancer was found in Whites (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.34, 1.85).

The association between metformin use and prostate cancer aggressiveness may be modified by race. When deciding if Metformin is an appropriate drug you need to consider your race.

The British Conservative Party want to force all large companies to report on their "ethnicity pay gap".

Whites are more intelligent ON AVERAGE than non-whites, except East Asians. Pressure will be applied to pay whites less than they are worth and ethnic minorities more than they are worth.
