Blacks often report higher pain intensity than other cultures
Isn't this code for "they're faking it"? Holy shit.
What book is this from?
That's exactly how I read it.
You can read it that way, or that they report higher pain intensity, or that they have been refused medication in the past so are likely to exaggerate in order to get what they need.
The problem is we don't have an objective way to measure pain. We can control the stimulus, but is it possible that one person experiences pain differently from others. By aggregating data you can find trends among populations. Hiding this information doesn't serve anyone.
Knowing what groups tend to over/state pain is useful. The format they show it in is offensive, some straight up graphs and numbers showing what the trends are would be better.
I give you a hint: Don't try to find justification for obvious racist propaganda, instead read what is written in the thread and listen to the answers you got. Go read anti racist books and listen to marginalized groups. You are carrying water for unempirical "scientific racism" here, that is still used to this day to decrease the quality of service for plenty of people.
If you want to be taken serious you don't have to be neutral in themes of racism (which would be better what you do here), but you have to be anti racist.

No
, the problem here is racism. Also: Bullshit "objective measurements".

That particular falsehood has roots in America's history of slavery. From the same racist doctor who decided that slaves fleeing captivity had "drapetomania":
Dr. Samuel Cartright, for instance, wrote that blacks bore a “[racist slur] disease [making them] insensible to pain when subjected to punishment”
I came across this post on Reddit initially and one of the comments accompanying the thread pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter lmao
Whites:
Whites are likely to request pain medication no matter the circumstance. In White mythology, pain medication is seen as sacred and is used in a ritual process called "getting high"
Willing to admit and prone to exaggerate pain as it elevates their status to show others how much their life sucks
Some Whites will reject medical procedures until traditional witchcraft practices such as "homeopathy" and "chicken noodle soup" are tried first
According to White lore, persons with skin tones darker then uncooked pizza dough are subhuman animals. Whites are likely to reject medical attention from such persons and request a similarly melanin-deficient nurse or doctor to treat them
They may ask for your birthday as they believe your whole-ass personality is determined by it according to their sacred calendar

The American education system is wild.
What if med school was just a boomer on a mic repeating "what's the deeeal with Native Americans?"
Wtf? "Blessed by a tribal shaman"???? Not that the rest isn't racist, but that's cartoonishly racist.
idk the Jewish one and the "Blacks often report higher pain intensity than other cultures" (counterpoint: black reports of pain are more often ignored or downplayed) seem, like, precision-engineered racist while that Native American one seems more like a low-effort caricature.
I was coming from a "no one actually thinks this way, right? Right??" angle, whereas the others I very much know that people think this way.
They believe suffering and pain are inevitable

We can't have universal healthcare but we can have universal phrenology in our healthcare
