Racial whiteness definition

Race definitely comes into play. High blood pressure is far more common in blacks than in any other racial group, and it hits at an earlier age. But we know that African Americans are far more sodium sensitive than whites are and at the same time they have diets that are high in sodium, doubling the problem. The solution seems pretty obvious. Similarly, obesity and diabetes are more prevalent among blacks. Rather than wringing his or her hands in despair, the wise black individual will take appropriate action. [Pg.18]

See, for example, the definition in Gaskins (1999) Monoracial A so-called racially pure person someone who identifies himself or herself as white, black, or Asian/Pacific Islander, for example (12). The notion of racial purity, while admitted here to be conventional, constructed, and so-called, is nonetheless absolutely necessary to the possibility of conceptualizing a mixed-race project. [Pg.284]
