It's 2021. Everything can be racist. Everything.

A casual look at the races of people seems to show that those using much milk are the strongest physically and mentally, and the most enduring of the people of the world. Of all races, the Aryans seem to have been the heaviest drinkers of milk and the greatest users of butter and cheese, a fact that may in part account for the quick and high development of this division of human beings.

Sounds pretty fucking racist to me.

I don't know why so many of you feel the need to play this dumb game where you pretend like you don't understand that people aren't calling an object or whatever racist, rather it's the ways that people are affected along racial lines or the way certain people use that information to be racist that is the point.

Estimates for lactose intolerance vary by ethnicity. African American and Asian ethnicities see a 75% - 95% lactose intolerance rate, while northern Europeans have a lower rate at 18% - 26% lactose intolerance.

People from Scandanavian countries developed tolerance to lactose over time because it was basically the only food source of certain nutrients. No one's calling you racist for drinking milk, only acknowledging that this is an oversight often made because white people are often considered the default in this country. It's useful information for dietary recommendations and such

But it's 100% understandable that not everyone thinks like that and is hesitant for an experimental drug that isn't fully FDA approved.

And in less than a month when it is fully FDA approved they will invent yet another stupid fucking excuse to avoid it. I'm sure it will go from "it's not fully approved" to "the approval was rushed" or something similar.

They will break down and get it reluctantly once their employers mandate it, crying about the mark of the beast and tyranny all the while. Just in time for boosters to become a thing.
