#1 It is my understanding that biracial children face an increased risk of developing diseases that are common in each individual race. If true, should we be asking why ?

Interesting aside found in the Japan Times entitled "The gene that may benefit sumo giants" (CREBRF). Mountain biking? No it's probably not for everyone.

#5 global stem cell registries do not reflect the world's diversity. The majority of registered donors are white

So either black people are just selfish scavengers and not givers, or the majority of places with black people can't afford cell separator labs and storage/transportation. And that latter is because their politicians are selfish scavengers. Ooop !

#6 In a green and agreeable glebe
An eagle once wedded a grebe.
Not strange on its face...
But amazing -- please brace! --
That we read about race at the Beeb.
