Doesn't matter, I buy the store generic that is still the same dose of ibuprofen and it costs less. So I don't have to make a switch away from yet another dei pushing, race baiting, social agenda nonsense company.
It’s a weird ad, but I’m guessing it’s referring to disparities in pain management from health professionals treating blacks compared with whites.
“Abundant research shows racial bias in pain treatment. A
2016 study found half of white medical students and residents held at least one false belief about biological differences between Blacks and Whites, and were more likely to underestimate Black patients’ pain.
“The management of pain is one of the largest disparities that we see between Black people and White people in the American health-care system,” said Tina Sacks, an associate professor at the University of California at Berkeley and author of “
Invisible Visits: Black Middle-Class Women in the American Healthcare System.””

Well for starters I read the thing and all citations were from people all in racial based backgrounds as their official title. So all of those people are out looking for race based information and since race has little to do with medicine I have no doubt they will find any information they need to support their theories to continue making money based off race. They get paid because they find racial issues, if they don't then they don't get paid.
For instance some of the professionals that added data.

So they all have careers specifically based in racial medicine.
I say they cherry pick case studies. Those blacks could be dopeheads, as many of them are, so you can't give traditional opioid based pain killers to them, do they have an underlying Mexican condition like hypertension or sickle cell anemia or one of the other very common issues blacks have and so on. Or are they going by what blacks told them that happened, and we all know blacks love to be the victim in every day life
Next up, they don't teach about race in the medical field. At least they didn't when I became a registered nurse about 10 years ago. I don't think even once in 4 years was black or white even mentioned. And far as pain, all we had was a pain scale of 0 to 10, their race never played into it. Never heard another doctor, therapist, nurse or anyone make mention of someone in any regard as to their skin color.
And lastly, what does ibuprofen sold in a store have to do with racial disparity in the medical field? It's otc so anyone anywhere can buy it at anytime. There is no racial disparity in something anyone can buy all on their own.
Your whole example has to do with this supposed unequal pain management in a professional medical setting involving things like opiates and other such physician ordered pain killers and not advil.
But also don't forget this.
According to 7 blacks they spoke, most of them thought their pain wasn't believed. Most of 7 blacks they spoke to. 7 people, that's all.
