I read the article, but I’m not seeing how the metric itself is racist? It’s not actually explained, just that it has racist origins (created using white ppl as the reference point) and the application of it as a standard of overall health can have racist applications, which I definitely agree with.

The thing is though, the graph above isn’t a graph of “health of American states over time”, it’s a graph of BMI over time. I think we’re mostly just arguing semantics at this point because the original person I replied to was equating normal BMI range = healthy which isn’t what’s shown here and is unrelated

BMI isn’t an indicator of health though, which is exactly what the study says. It’s simply a measurement of body mass, which doesn’t account for other factors

BMI is a good metric for populations as there are very few athletes at that elite level compared to obese people. At an individual level it can be misleading if you’re an athlete with a high muscle to body fat ratio

Note: this was in 1987 that he was honoured

Seems like 1950. Here’s a excerpt from the Wikipedia article

Critics of the commission have pointed out it’s many failings. In a 1989 article for the Ottawa Citizen, writer Sol Littman explained, the All-Party Parliamentary War Crimes Group of the British House of Commons found that screening was virtually “non-existent” for Ukrainian SS veterans who entered Canada in 1950. The SS veterans had been allowed into Canada from the U.K. based on false assurances that they were not war criminals. The Foreign Office lied to British parliament in 1947, that the SS volunteers had undergone “a very exhaustive screening process.” In a 1997 interview with 60 Minutes, Irving Abella stated that getting into Canada for SS members, was as easy as just showing their SS blood type tattoo which indicated that they were reliably anti-communist.

This wasn’t recent that they came to Canada

Yes! NEO TWEWY is the sequel and it was 14 years after the original release. The original on the DS is my favourite game of all time

A bleaker future is also great for them. People love voting for “strong” leaders with simple answers in tough times

This is a cheese nightmare
