They say we’re all the same yet evidence seems to suggest otherwise, if we were all the same and difference pertained only to skin colour, then surely incident rates of Sickle cell would range uniformly across the board, rather than almost exclusively affecting peoples from sub-Saharan Africa or indeed their descendents, be they products of miscegenation or otherwise. 

Again in relation to schizophrenia, it seems that non-whites are more prone to the illness, one has only to hark back to the 8th July 1996, when deranged 33 year old Horrett Campbell attacked children having a teddy bears picnic, or we can go back even further to December 17th 1992, when unbalanced Christopher Clunis stabbed an innocent man waiting for a tube train, stabbing him three times in the face one of the blows piercing his eye, the ill-fated victim in question Jonathan Zito never recovered he died from his injuries. 

Again we have the case of one David Morgan who ran amok in a department store, slashing 15 women's throats in December 1994, I should imagine that on the 8th of December this year 15 women will finger the scars on their throats and shudder at the memory. In 1994 again, one Stephen Laudat stabbed Bryan Bennett 82 times in a social services day centre, it would seem that mental illness and those that carry it, present an unacceptable risk to the safety and welfare of us all. 

I leave you with some of the article and a link to the rest, I will say this, luckily even though non-whites are more likely to suffer mental illness its not as if they have power is it, its not as if a non-white has access to weapons of mass destruction, a finger on the button. “oh my god what have they done……….”

Raised Incidence Rates of All Psychoses Among Migrant Groups

Findings From the East London First Episode Psychosis Study 

Jeremy W. Coid, MD; James B. Kirkbride, PhD; Dave Barker, MRCPsych; Fiona Cowden, MRCPsych; Rebekah Stamps, MRCPsych; Min Yang, MD, MPH; Peter B. Jones, PhD 

Arch Gen Psychiatry. 2008;65(11):1250-1258. 

Context Certain black and minority ethnic groups are at increased risk for psychoses. It is unknown whether risk for second- and later-generation black and minority ethnic groups in the United Kingdom is universally increased or varies by ethnicity, population structure, or diagnostic category. 

Objectives To examine whether excess risk in black and minority ethnic groups varies by generation status and to determine whether this is explained solely by an excess of broadly defined schizophrenia. 

Design Population-based epidemiological survey of first-onset psychoses during a 2-year study period. 

Setting Three inner-city boroughs in East London, England. 

Patients Four hundred eighty-four patients with first-episode psychosis aged 18 to 64 years. 

Main Outcome Measures Nonaffective or affective psychoses according to the DSM-IV. 

Results Raised incidence of both nonaffective and affective psychoses were found for all of the black and minority ethnic subgroups compared with white British individuals. The risk of nonaffective psychoses for first and second generations varied by ethnicity (likelihood ratio test, P = .06). Only black Caribbean second-generation individuals were at significantly greater risk compared with their first-generation counterparts (incidence rate ratio, 1.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-2.4). No significant differences between first and second generations were observed in other ethnic groups. Asian women but not men of both generations were at increased risk for psychoses compared with white British individuals. Patterns were broadly upheld for the affective psychoses. 

Conclusions Both first- and second-generation immigrants were at elevated risk for both nonaffective and affective psychoses, but this varied by ethnicity. Our results suggest that given the same age structure, the risk of psychoses in first and second generations of the same ethnicity will be roughly equal. We suggest that socioenvironmental factors operate differentially by ethnicity but not generation status, even if the exact specification of these stressors differs across generations. Research should focus on differential rates of psychoses by ethnicity rather than between generations. Continues here
