Great! Finally we have something concrete how dangerous stigma is. Stigma death rate is over 2% and roughly 5% of stimatized people end up in intensive care. Damn words are dangerous.

Racial bias kills people every single day. It deeply impacts research, education, direct care, and quality of life. Super glad I didn't waste money on a college degree, they don't teach y'all anything.

Even though in the macro racial bias can lead to poorer outcomes and even deaths, that doesn't mean that in this specific situation it will. It may well be a (lamentable) net-positive. Particulars matter.
