Whites have a few less health issues that do discern between the races.
Red herring. You cannot take something that is genetic in nature AND outside the control of another. Discrimination by skin color is under the control of the discriminator. Unless you are stating that black are discriminated against for having more health issues?
and some studies have been done that show that whites are more likely to be influenced (negatively) by racial stereotypes even if they believe they're not racist.
I have to wonder about these studies sometimes. Are they attributing culture bias to race? I know I have seen black kids in their "gansta" get up and I get real leery. I do if I see any white kids similarly dressed, but with blacks being the majority who dress this way, I am more likely to seem to have a bad reaction to blacks than to whites. Likewise, I really don't think twice about a black person who dress well (anything from suit to nice t-shirt/jeans). Hell I've talked to a couple of people for an hour or more before I've noticed that they were black. I've also noticed negative reactions from myself from speech or attitude. Ones that, while not isolated to blacks, are dominated by them. Again, can my reaction to that be viewed as a racial bias when it's not really there?
