    Unarmed white people are disproportionately more likely to be shot at by police, contrary to the false anti-white BLM-communist narratives, but it still lacks too much context.

    If anyone is wondering why this sounds like complete bullshit, it's because it is:

    Compared to their numbers in the overall population, an unarmed black man is about four times more likely to be killed by police than an unarmed white man. - source (soft paywall, open in incognito window)

    Fatal police shootings of unarmed Black people in US more than 3 times as high as in Whites - source

    Most victims were reported to be armed (83%); however, black victims were more likely to be unarmed (14.8%) than white (9.4%) or Hispanic (5.8%) victims. - source

    We find that, across several circumstances of police killings and their objective reasonableness, Black suspects are more than twice as likely to be killed by police than are persons of other racial or ethnic groups; even when there are no other obvious circumstances during the encounter that would make the use of deadly force reasonable. - source

    Great source:

    Leading by example in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

    Cultural diversity and inclusion are a vital part of BMJ’s culture.

    Yes, the source is good. Not only by being about the third most prestigious medical journal in the world, but also by having a non-racist culture.

    This is important in medicine, as a lot of testing of treatments is done on university students with a bias towards being better suited to whites and males.

    having a non-racist culture

    Nothing to do with the scientific method. Quite the opposite in fact. When your premise is "all subspecies of this species are axiomatically equal", you've left the sphere of science and entered into dogma.
