I don't think you have ever been to Canada, or even outside the US. Try getting out more. Toronto the largest city in Canada for example has 50% non-white population. The major cities and metro areas where most Canadians live are extremely diverse. Canada overall is a very diverse society.
Regardless, their minorities have better access to healthcare than white Americans who often do not.
Uhh yeah, that's pretty diverse. What is your point? That it's okay for the US to have high infant mortality rates because it mostly effects non-whites? Who cares about non-whites, they don't count. Spoken like a true Trump supporter.
The fact remains Canada's 20% minority population has better access to healthcare than white Americans who often don't have any.
Let's just talk about just white Americans for a minute which is obviously what you prefer to do. White Americans have 6% infant mortality which is comparable to the Canadian rate.
But Canada has the 2nd worst infant mortality rate in the developed world. So being comparable (and much worse when you count ALL Americans) to Canada in infant mortality isn't exactly something to brag about. Canada only looks good when compared to the US.

Have you been to Canada outside of Toronto? I doubt it.

The point you seem to miss entirely is that Canada's "diverse" (non-white) population is very different from America's. A plurality of the diverse in Canada are Asians, and they aren't contributing to high infant mortality. What matters, for this issue, is the high-risk component of the population. In America that is a very large group of blacks and Hispanics. In Canada, I assume it is the native population, who are only 4% of the total.
Canada's diversity is comparable to the US. But it's kinda funny how minorities in Canada receive better healthcare and enjoy better maternity care and benefits than whites in the US who often don't get any healthcare at all. Even when they are 'covered' by private insurance, Americans often can't afford to use it due to their ridiculous high deductible. God forbid you have some kind of pre-existing condition such as pregnancy, rape, acne, etc.
I was thinking the same. Scandinavian and Canadian women are healthier than American women. We eat more fast food, fried foods, and have a high intake for sugar (soda, candy and desserts).
Not to mention crack, meth, heroin and so forth while smoking and drinking of course.
Yes. I always try to skirt these posts carefully, because I will always be accused of being racist. But, the reason American statistics are skewed is because we have significant portions of our population, who are of minorities, which skews the results. The reasons can be argued. But, the facts are that African-Americans, Native-Americans and Hispanic-Americans typically have lower outcomes than white Americans or Asian-Americans.

Additionally, want to break those numbers down by race and ethnicity?
