Sorry, I did not pick up on your sarcastic tone! Obviously. As someone with direct experience of rare genetic diseases that once were thought to be specific to certain races and ethnicities who has worked with orgs like NORD to produce factual information, I didn't get the joke.

Sadly, even today in 2020, a vast number of people - including some in health care - still believe that Tay Sachs and sickle cell are confined to Jews and black people respectively. For your sarcasm to work or "land properly" in this instance, the whole world have to know already that this is obviously not true. Which unfortunately is not the case.

Again, apologies for not getting your sarcastic tone. When I try to joke on here, my meaning is often misinterpreted too.

No hard feelings!
