I believe that another reason this bias exists is because traditionally, Black people are raised with a mindset to deal with whatever pain and suffering they have to deal with - whether through personal fortitude or leaning on religion - and not to depend on external systems of the world, in some cases "the White man" depending on how marginalized their personal background.

You are getting much closer to demonstrating and describing the interpersonal and institutional mechanisms that give rise to social differences and unfairness in our lives. ("HEY!! YOURE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT! " Lol. "If they are suffering, it's because they're not working hard enough, don't give them any excuse to parasite off hard working Patriots."! Lol.) This research will prove that, that type of thinking is unfounded and without empirical evidence. That is excellent. ✌️

This explains treatment mistakes happening to people of colour in Europe,western countries

They just need to accept the fact that racial bias affects everything. And stop making excuses for it.

I need to know who did the research. I know there's racist people, but I have a hard time believing that they are giving different treatment to PEOPLE or none because of the skin color.

you can easily look up what you are questioning. you are finding it hard to believe because perhaps you are not the victim. As a nurse I have seen this and as a patient I have experienced it. This research and study does all the way back to slavery and it is international. It is in medical literature.

It's impossible for an individual going to see the doctor to know they are the "victim" if it's "hidden" in someone's mind. This is pure nonsense and another way to divide people by their race. Furthermore, if they truly felt they were a victim, because of race, they'd go see a doctor of the same race and take an active role of the skin color of their health care provider. Are you now going to give an excuse why a health care provider of the same race is also implicitly biased against their own race?@@mo-whack6790
