When doctors evaluate how well your kidneys are working, they often use a formula called eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate). This equation factored creatinine level (a waste product in your blood), age, sex, and race (nig vs. human).

The logic at the time was based on older studies suggesting that, on average, nigs had higher baseline creatinine levels because of higher average muscle mass so the formula included a "race correction factor."

In 2021, the National Kidney Foundation and American Society of Nephrology recommended removing race from the eGFR equation. Hospitals switched to race-neutral formulas, and the number of nig patients qualifying for advanced care or transplant jumped overnight.

Here's the kicker:

The original formula was based on something real. Studies found that nigs had higher average serum creatinine levels at similar levels of kidney function compared to White participants. This was attributed to higher average muscle mass. So the formula included a "race coefficient" that boosted eGFR for nig patients by about 15–20%.

Except the elevated average creatinine baseline was real.

This means that now that they "fixed" the "systemic racism", nigs who have subcritical kidney function are getting kidneys that critical-condition Whites could put to better use.

This isn't to factor in that any medical care spent on niggers is obviously a waste anyway.

This is probably something you never heard of. You're welcome.

i know, man. i'm just saying, they might as well have called it the "race number" for how much it explains. in your example you're comparing already-existing prices, but if Exxon said "Nebraska must have a coefficient of 1.5" and nothing else then the word "coefficient" is entirely misleading and completely useless as to explain the real malevolent reason behind the price raise.
