You will note that there is a single white outlier of very poor health outcomes, which also correlates very highly with obesity, and that area is called Central Appalachia. Lines up perfectly. This area is also extremely poor & we all know the stereotypes of extreme white trash rednecks.
Obesity map lines up better than the negro map.
When you look at obesity, the major outlier become Las Vegas, which think we can safely say is booze and drugs and partying yourself to death.
Not to mention that's it's an inhospitable fucking desert.
Lots of black people are obese. 49.6% if you believe the NIH.
Shout out to the mental gymnastics sociologists did in addressing this with the idea of "food deserts."
I still remember my two classmates all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and ready to study food deserts and prove systemic racism against black people. Professors were salivating to advise the paper.
It was dead in about four weeks. Every preliminary analysis concluded that people had access to good food, they just made mind-bogglingly bad choices.
I think about that a lot. The data were so bad these Olympic-level mental gymnasts just gave up almost immediately.
I don't think anyone is disputing that.
I'd guess that the native american population density map also correlates to lower life expectancy map.
Eastern Oklahoma and parts of New Mexico, Arizona and Montana on the map match native american populations perfectly.

Post Approved: Again, same issue. A population being obese is not the same as that population being morally inferior.

We all know the stereotypes about jannies and jews.
