Abstract in brief
- People tend to believe that Black individuals feel less pain than White individuals, but this bias is actually based on perceptions of social status and hardship rather than race itself.
- Archival NFL injury data shows that injured Black players are more likely to be cleared to play again, possibly because people assume they experience less pain.
- Experiments with White and Black Americans, including nurses and nursing students, confirm that this bias exists across different groups and is linked to perceived status, which has important implications for racial biases and healthcare disparities.]

between black and white people underlie the differential assessment of pain by medical professionals ('black people's skin is thicker and they feel pain differently'). There is a racial bias in perceptions of others’ pain rooted in these inaccurate scientific beliefs. 3/

@dewysmack I can’t do anything about your racism, but maybe I can encourage you to work on your gullibility in believing in pseudoscience. I think you’d benefit from these: https://t.co/gdEvSyWBzI https://t.co/qHENVEgjcr. https://t.co/gxvRbD5TJx https://t.co/Njn1v7v44n

The present work provides evidence that people assume a priori that Blacks feel less pain than do Whites. https://t.co/caR30zTJxs

BTW nonblack minorities are still a part of this problem as well, they have shown to validate the same views as whites in regards to the super human abilities of blacks. like y'all really think our skin is thick enough to withstand getting burned by coals https://t.co/CHvS2VsNAU
