Notice that the white interviewer, in framing the question, doesn’t even allow for any genetic factors at all. In his (limited) mind the only possibilities are racism or poverty. Only the black man allows himself to bring up the genetic factor and, even then, using the code word “biology”.

If I’m not mistaken the good doctor was denying that blacks are a “race” and by extension, the existence of races at all. If that is so, then how can “health disparities” be attributed to “racism?” There are no races yet there is racism. Hmmm. We need to dispense with that term altogether. Perhaps a more accurate term would be “colorism.” But then, calling someone a colorist doesn’t have quite the same sting as racist.

“calling someone a colorist doesn’t have quite the same sting as racist.”

Oh, I’m sure it could! Let’s hope blacks don’t pick that word as one not to like also.
