Ethnicity: White

[The Nigerian]

Okay, so I'm going in for surgery and the whole time from talking to the medical billing staff to meeting the specialist to speaking with the hospital I'm being asked some variation of:

What is your race?

What is your ethnicity?

Now, I'm no sucker. I know there is ZERO benefits for saying "Black." In fact, if you go by the stats it's pretty much assured you're going to be getting sub-standard care and sub-standard outcomes if you're classified as "Black."

That's why when asked I always claim I'm white. That way, I get any benefits of being classified as white.

I encourage all of you to check "white" whenever they ask you your race or ethnicity over the phone or via form. Hell, even in person. That way, you too can avoid the institutional pitfalls of being classified as "Black." There is nothing positive that is coming from the whole racial classification game. I'm not going to play. You shouldn't either.

Its like I'm trying to think of a witty reply, but I really have nothing. Post is just sad all around, trolling or not.

Docs only ask that question because certain diseases are more prevalent in certain populations

Play the race card when it doesn't apply brehs

Interesting theory

I already sound extra cornballish over the phone whenever I make a call that will result in some sort of benefit for me. I try to not sound like a black guy with a deep voice. I cornball it up. This seems like a more legit tactic.

Look, I *never* check "Black" unless if it's for something positive like the application for Jet Magazine's Most Eligible Bachelors Under 30 list or if it's going to get me money somehow. I've yet to see an opportunity where checking "Black" has entitled me to money. Well, more money than checking "white" that is.

You know that we get worse medical outcomes, right? They routinely skip tests and fvck up diagnoses for people classified as "Black" due to these kind of biases.
