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

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
