Studies have shown that minorities have much higher incidences of gonorrhea and chlamydia than white people. Whenever there is a racial disparity in anything, whether it is income, housing, or test scores, white racism is to blame. Therefore, it is no surprise that the L.A. Times is blaming the “gonorrhea gap” on white racism.
Gonorrhea cases have doubled in Los Angeles County, which is largely a minority population. People in L.A. County are also much more likely to have chlamydia than the general California population, which is relatively whiter than the population around Los Angeles. Furthermore, within L.A. County, black women are two times likelier to catch syphilis than Hispanic women and six times likelier than white women.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a white paper in 2010 saying the country could not close disparities in STD rates without addressing “the interpersonal, network, community, and societal influences of disease transmission and health.”
A white paper? Leave it to white people to write a “white paper” to describe the sexual problems of minorities. How racist is that?
