The numbers don't lie. I just don't think experiences relating to race are driving it.

So just throwing stuff out there:

The opiate epidemic is disproportionately affecting white people. One could ask why that is too.....I've seen a theory that doctors are less sympathetic to black pain and therefor less likely to prescribe meds. Also, black americans typically receive less health care than other races and the meds are delivered THROUGH health care.

I wonder if there's a correlation between suicide and aetheism? Not sure of my assumption....but aren't white people in America more likely to be aetheist? That might be a factor.

Not sure if those two things are legitimate factors....but I'd say that's a better start than black actors getting cast in marvel movies.
