Minority Americans Lag Behind Whites On Nearly Every Measure Of Health Care Quality

https://www.commonwealthfund.org/pre...h-care-quality

A new survey by The Commonwealth Fund reveals that on a wide range of health care quality measures—including effective patient–physician communication, overcoming cultural and linguistic barriers, and access to health care and insurance coverage—minority Americans do not fare as well as whites. African Americans, Asian Americans, and Hispanics are more likely than whites to experience difficulty communicating with their physician, to feel that they are treated with disrespect when receiving health care, to experience barriers to access to care such as lack of insurance or not having a regular doctor, and to feel they would receive better care if they were of a different race or ethnicity.

You still didn't answer my question. Wasnt asking for a bunch of articles to be posted about how you think im wrong.

What do YOU believe about business deciding who to serve, just your opinion alone.

I've answered it many times over. Your racism prevents you from accepting the answers. Sad.

No you have NOT given me a direct answer in your own words. Really it's a simple yes or no answer.

I think businesses, especially large ones, have way more power and discretion than they should. I'd favor regulation that would require vetting of many decisions with large public impact, like investment in plant and machinery, closing of plants, Etc. I think our law has been shaped by owners and we think it's good and right that they should have all kinds of Power, but it's not written on stone tablets anywhere we are free to change the order of things if we think it's a good idea.

So no I don't think it's outlandish if there are some limits on business discretion in customer service. If someone makes it clear that they want to discriminate in public accommodations, there should be a way to challenge that. And in fact there is.

You're using the royal form of we, right?

Regardless of the source, poster or publication, the article is at our zeitgeist's cutting edge. Are you claiming the article is fiction, grossly inaccurate, misleading ... ?

I do not know the accuracy of the article. I certainly don't assume it's 100% accurate, not do I assume it's 100% false. If you are interested you might try to research the matter further.

Often with such Internet outrage fodder, liberties are taken with details to make the story 'better.'

Segregated parks linked to higher COVID-19 deaths for Black and Latino Americans

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...es/3291907001/

Nationwide, parks serving primarily nonwhite populations are half the size of parks serving majority white populations, and are five times more crowded, the report found. And parks serving majority low-income households are, on average, four times smaller and four times more crowded than parks serving wealthy neighborhoods.

White privilege is everywhere. My daily walk (on hold currently due to horrific air quality thanks to the fires) is 5 miles each direction. Almost the entire route is along city-provided parkways, ending at a large city aquatics center with wide walkways all around it.

Waggs refuses to admit that white privilege exists. I see it every day. There's absolutely no doubt about it.
