Suicide rates increased in US by 30% for black people and 16% for Asians over last 5 years - and rate for African-American youth rose by HALF
2021-05-27
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • A new study looked at suicide rates in the U.S. from 2014 to 2019 among different racial and ethnic groups

  • Rates spiked by 30% for black Americans and 16% for Asians/Pacific Islanders over the five-year period compared to 10% for white people

  • Among males between ages 15 and 24, rates soared by 47% for African-Americans and 40% for Asians in comparison with 20% for Caucasians

  • Overall rates among white Americans are still higher than among blacks at 17.6 per 100,000 compared to 7.4 per 100,000
    ...a point the headline ignores completely...
  • Experts say they don't know why rates are rising, but attribute it to factors including economic burdens and lack of mental health services for minorities

Include suicide by cop and it'd be 50% at least.
