There is a wide disparity between ethnic groups in the U.S. as well as gender. For example, an Asian woman is expected to live to 85.6, while for a Black man, the figure is 66.7 years.
Almost 20 fucking years! That’s beyond absurd, holy shit.
And the US lectures the world on human rights and admonishes countries for how they treat minority populations
Asians live longer thsn white people in USA?
Have you seen what white people eat and the average weight of white people and Asians in the US?
Also that number is a bit disingenuous, should’ve compared Asian women to black women, Asian men to black men (edit: not saying that black people don’t have a much lower life expectancy than average, just that it’s a dishonest statistic for the article to compare against which hurts its credibility)
Women live longer than men in every country because men are more likely to have heart issues and a bunch of other fatal issues later in life
It doesnt matter if women live longer than men 66.7 is still bad
Oh yea, idk my brain kinda short circuited cause I just woke up and the parent comment was talking about Asian women and black men and then I was responding to an asian and white life expectancy comment
I have no idea what any of us were trying to say tbh
The point was women only live 4-5 years longer thsn men so thst cant be the reason why black men life expectancy is ~67 instead of 81
My comment was definitely in bad taste, I just have a weird fixation on data manipulation in reporting, sorry
Ok
Oh for sure, I was never trying to make it seem black life expectancy wasn’t far lower than average in the USA, sorry if it came off like that
Just pointing out that comparing women and men across races is terrible analysis
But have you considered that Americans have more money, the objectively most important measure of life?

Lol, imagine losing in terms of quality of life to a nation that you’ve embargoed and done everything to make their lives miserable.
That’s only because the namby pamby definition of “quality of life” doesn’t include key metrics like the ability to own automatic weapons and drive needlessly massive trucks.
This is an older article. In the meantime, China did overtake the US in life expectancy.
Also, IIRC, even if you compare it by wealth, the American 10% richest live less than other “developed” countries 10%. It’s like the whole country is cursed.

Don’t forget the food
I mean, a curse is the least they may get considering how they treat indeginous people and their country’s history and present political crimes against humanity.
“Now I must warn you before you move in, this country is built on top of an Indian burial ground”
What can you expect from a country where a “billionaire” like Trump’s favourite meal is fucking McDonalds or “Steak”.
I think it’s the food. Their food is so atrocious. Everything is loaded with either fat, sugar or both. They have very few health restrictions for how to preserve food ingredients, especially meat. The eating habits are also bad, eating fried bacon or eggs for breakfast is horrible for your health.

i mean, the AVERAGE cuban live longer, a black man lives even less in the US
The life expectancy drop of black and brown people in the US since covid is actually slightly bigger than the drop after the toppling of the Soviet Union, the previous largest on record.
What no McDonalds establishment in a country does to a mf
Actually, there is a McDonalds in Cuba.
Legally isn’t that area considered to be US soil, like an embassy?
It’s still part of Cuba, but it’s on lease for undetermined term (to end it, both side would havd to agree or USA would have to unilaterally and completely withdraw). About jurisdiction:
Article 3 – Cuba retains ultimate sovereignty, but during the occupation, the U.S. exercises sole jurisdiction over the areas described in Article 1. Under conditions to be agreed on, the U.S. has the right to acquire, by purchase or eminent domain, any land included therein.
Of course as it is immediately obvious, it was an extortion and is really an occupation. Problem lies in that evicting the base would require military action and it would be a war.
Thank you for the answer
Yeah probably. I guess it’d be more accurate to say there’s a mcdonalds located on the island of Cuba though technically outside of its legal jurisdiction, but that doesn’t sound as good.

Ahem… remind me again who’s the failed state, according to the Americans again.
Cuba better start a refugee program, plenty of Unitedstadians want it out already.
