Re: To everyone who posted about black women with PCOS...From: anonymous@obgyn.netSat, 30 Sep 2000 10:23:25 EDT
Susan: I really don't think that the person who stated that "PCOS doesn't discriminate", meant to say that she thought you were being discriminating. I think (and she can correct me if I am wrong) what she was trying to say is that PCOS seems to affect ALL women, regardless of race, and she just was trying to state that by saying that PCOS is blind and cannot see race. It seems to only see our reproductive organs!! :) I hope you feel better. Please don't feel bad. This is the place to ask questions, there is no need feel that you can't ask questions. Thanks!

You were very helpful on this. Also to the women who e-mailed me and said that just because you are black PCOS doesn't discriminate, well just to clear it up, I never said it did discriminate. I have never discriminated against a black person, nor would I ever dream of doing that. A very close friend of mine is black and she asked me to post and ask if PCOS was a white thing only or if blacks could have it too. I didn't have the answer to her question, so that is the only reason that I posted what I did. Out of several messages replying back to me, they were all telling me basically that yes no matter what race, you can get PCOS. But the reason for this one being so long is I did have two people e-mail me and say that I was discriminating against blacks, and I am sorry if you may have taken that post the wrong way, but it was not meant to be anything more than just a simple question. Again, I am sorry if you thought I was discriminating against the black people, but I wasn't. Susan P. >>
