Advil wants you to know that the medical profession is filled with racists who want to see Black people writhing in pain. Or, perhaps, that doctors subconsciously believe what some slavemasters once claimed, that Blacks don’t feel pain.
I don’t know, really. The theory is a bit of a mess, but it all boils down to: doctors don’t hand out enough pain meds or something.
Advil has gone full DEI. A new ad campaign claims that black people suffer more pain on average compared to white people and that it’s time for “pain equity.” pic.twitter.com/m7EEOBeNMw
