Yes, it is. So perhaps you could explain the need for your earlier post in this thread:

Actually, racism is mentioned 21 times in the link, and once in the headline. Race is mentioned 9 times.
Here ya go, from the link:

Racism harms overtly, Dr. Lashley says, but it also sabotages a person’s social and physical environment. It understandably causes them to question what’s true, to wonder about the motives of their neighbours. Did that person cross the street to get somewhere or to avoid me? Was I seated in the back of the restaurant because I’m Black? Is that police officer just walking by or following me?
How long can anyone’s brain, especially one already dealing with trauma or the challenge of adjusting to a foreign culture, maintain that hyper-vigilance and stay healthy?
The prevalence of schizophrenia in migrants from Africa should be compared to Africans who did not migrate, so as to establish a baseline. Poor conditions in Africa: malnutrition and viral infection during development are just some of the contributing factors. Then maybe the stress of migration triggers it.
I don't know about racism but I could easily see how being thrust into a different state with a different type of economy with different people with lots of different beliefs and customs and food could be discombobulating.
That's pretty much what you do to indoctrinate someone.
They will come up with all sorts of reasons why the things are going on around them and many of the reason will barely be connected to reality because that's what humans do to familiarize themselves with their environments.
I could only imagine what would go through someone's mind that may not have grown up with something like central AC in their home when they see such a concept in action. Besides looking incredibly wasteful, Americans grow up with central AC and they still have absolutely no idea how it works, generally speaking.
That's a lot of stress no matter what color you are. I guess it's possible white people adjust to those conditions quicker for some epigenetic reason? Or maybe no white people grow up without many of the creature comforts. Maybe that's where the racism comes in.
But we all know it doesn't have anything to do with racism. We know it's complete bunk to serve the purpose of "an economy without differences."
Oh I believe you when you say the article mentions racism. But the result of the study itself is just the pattern.
OK, sorry I misunderstood you.
The article is a jumble of various conflicting hypotheses. The writer just really hopes white racism is a major cause of schizophrenia in blacks, or at least that many people will believe it is. The main thing is not to find real answers and develop cures but to place blame on deserving bad people.
No. There are things that should be looked at to help identify what most causes the social ills people complain about. But those things are off limits.

(no worries, I see now why my post was unclear.)
The article is another example of some activist-journalist putting forth their own interpretation of data, and calling it "science".
Racism causing Schizophrenia...Well could be the reason the Left is crazy.
