First, the study does not give race- or ethnicity-specific data but rather aggregates several populations together as one “minority” category opposite whites, ignoring variation between groups. It has been documented that from access to outcomes, there are significant differences between white, Asian, Latino, black, and other patients.3 The results of the study likely could be different depending on the racial and ethnic mix of the populations measured; however, the reductive “minority” classification obscures this point.
