That particular falsehood has roots in America's history of slavery. From the same racist doctor who decided that slaves fleeing captivity had "drapetomania":
Dr. Samuel Cartright, for instance, wrote that blacks bore a “[racist slur] disease [making them] insensible to pain when subjected to punishment”
I came across this post on Reddit initially and one of the comments accompanying the thread pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter lmao
Whites:
Whites are likely to request pain medication no matter the circumstance. In White mythology, pain medication is seen as sacred and is used in a ritual process called "getting high"
Willing to admit and prone to exaggerate pain as it elevates their status to show others how much their life sucks
Some Whites will reject medical procedures until traditional witchcraft practices such as "homeopathy" and "chicken noodle soup" are tried first
According to White lore, persons with skin tones darker then uncooked pizza dough are subhuman animals. Whites are likely to reject medical attention from such persons and request a similarly melanin-deficient nurse or doctor to treat them
They may ask for your birthday as they believe your whole-ass personality is determined by it according to their sacred calendar

idk the Jewish one and the "Blacks often report higher pain intensity than other cultures" (counterpoint: black reports of pain are more often ignored or downplayed) seem, like, precision-engineered racist while that Native American one seems more like a low-effort caricature.
What if med school was just a boomer on a mic repeating "what's the deeeal with Native Americans?"
We can't have universal healthcare but we can have universal phrenology in our healthcare
This textbook was published in 2015 and was pulled from use in 2017
Also wow Nursing Times no need to add the quotation marks. That book is racist not 'racist'.
WTF, there are citation dates as late as 2009 in that book, meaning it was written after! This is on the same level of racist as when my brother found a 1940's biology book in a storage closet of our school that discussed
CW racism
