And boy the amount of outrage that caused within the medical community. There’s nothing to worry about my friend, whether you’re black,white,red,yellow,brown,olive or tan. We’re all humans and we all respond the same to jelqing. Infact you will only gain more because east asians have alot of inner penis and therefore room for lig gains.
I’m not disputing the effectiveness of jelqing, depending upon race, but rather your rant.
Yes, we’re all human beings, but there are differences. For example, blacks are more prone to high blood pressure than whites. Furthermore, sickle cell anemia may plague black folks exclusively. And, osteoporosis tends to mostly affect whites & asians, than it does blacks.
Beyond race, there are even ethnic differences in whites. For example, a former mayor of Pittsburgh died of a rare genetic condition known as amyloidosis. People from the Mediterranean seem most susceptible to this (Caligiuri was an Italian American).
The same is true about autism. Some researchers have noted a prevelance amongst Mediterranean peoples that may be disproportionate to the general population (Sly Stallone & Dan Marino, who both have autistic kids, have done a lot for helping autism research).
Or what about Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) - a hereditary inflammatory disorder that affects groups of patients originating from around the Mediterranean Sea (hence its name). It is prominently present in the Armenian people (up to 1 in 7 affected), Sephardi Jews (and, to a much lesser extent, Ashkenazi Jews), people from Turkey, and the Arab countries. (from a Wiki).
So, you can’t issue a blanket statement that all folks along the rainbow spectrum are one & the same. Furthermore, chimpanzees only differ from us genetically by a few measly percent. If you were ill would you want a veterinarian to treat you?
And, finally, “…the amount of outrage that caused within the medical community.” means absolutely nothing, in terms of science. The same outrage greeted the authors of The Bell Curve, a book which purported to present scientific evidence showing causality between race & intelligence. (whether or not the book did so, all of the condemnations by the book’s critics were emotional & employed circuitous reasoning. I’m not sure if the book was ever scientifically refuted - if not, perhaps because the critics were too wound-up to think clearly).
