Yes.Powerful. Did you feel different after checking those new boxes?
Is the AMA wrong here?You are sort of mixing ethnicity and race. White latino vs other latino. Terming as asian, white, black, etc is a simple way to categorize at a simple, easy to understand at almost any education level. It is a very simplistic way at terming phenotypes. How much of the global population do you think understands the term “phenotype” versus white, black, etc?
Ethnicity, such as latino is an entirely different subject.

By acknowledging that race is a social construct and not an inherent risk factor for disease, we can truly make progress toward our goal of attaining health equity for all patients
I'm sure you did. All that biological change must have been quite a rush. Powerful. Am I a Pretendian if I check the Indigenous American box next time I get the chance?Yes.
To a degree, yes. We know certain diseases occur more in certain races due to genetics. Sickle Cell Anemia comes to mind. The AMA is trying to correct some race-related issues and is working on terminology that is more palatable.Is the AMA wrong here?

Sigh.It's almost like race isn't biologically indicated and instead a term to describe how one fits into the prevailing social construct.
Maybe your skin pigmentation actually came from your parents DNA? That's the most likely case.Pink and beige.
