Second quick comment

@Cecilesaleh: Following up on my earlier comments here, I want to recommend three key areas of expansion:

  1. Produce a section listing some comparative health advantages of white Americans, either historically or recently.
  2. Include a section on life expectancy where you both:
    1. Discuss the white advantage, usually presented vis a vis Black Americans, in life expectancy, including the causes of death that it appears on, as presented here.
    2. Discuss the fact that life expectancy has sometimes been declining in recent years for whites collectively, and usually for non-college-educated whites. See Case and Denton, among other sources.

Let me know when you're ready and I'll be back with a top-to-bottom review.--Carwil (talk) 02:59, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
