No. Thats the point. If I were, I might not know about how white people don't get the support they want from the medical system.

Mistreatment is not the same as "not get the support I want".

It seems the same when you've never been treated like an indigenous woman though, and allows you to feel genuine about completely insane takes.

I have zero doubt that there's mistreatment in the medical system due to racism. But that was one of the questions they used to determine if mistreatment occurred. So, basically, it was a poorly done study and they should have had a control group and not included such open questions. And it's rather hard to filter self reported complaints appropriately - I've never had a baby, but from what I understand it's often a pretty nasty experience for anyone.

Just stop digging at this point.

Why? It's kinda important. When a study is published that is poorly done - ie poor science - it can negatively affect a very real cause that requires work to fix - like in this case to address the racism in the health care system. The study can be dismissed because it's junk and people will equate that to dismisssing the issue.- people think 'if they had to fabricate/stretch/spin the data l, then the concern is bs'. Now I haven't read the original paper, and new articles have a habit of reporting very poorly on science. So maybe the article just butchered the methods they used; maybe the article purposefully did that to discredit the study - who knows. But just ignoring it to be politically correct or not hurt people's feeling is backwards.

Well not getting what you want can be mistreatment, and it can not be. But if you read the article, that's one of the questions that they used to determine if someone was mistreated.
