Basically the life expectancy is coming closer to levels of other ethnic groups with large working-class populations. Low wages buy less health care, worse food options, worse environmental factors and, of course, higher levels of stress. The kind of things black and brown have always had to endure. It's kind of silly to look at this from a race and not class perspective.
