So i guess really this result is not suprising, but it really doesn't say anything about the comparison between countries. Just that we have more black and brown people.
Socio-economics and race have a lot to do with health.
Look at the life expectancy of aboriginals in Australia, compared to the life expectancy of white Australians. The difference is incredible. Same is true of first nations people in Canada.
I don't know why people of color have poorer health, but it's certainly true.

You're an idiot, black people are not inherently unhealthier than white people, the reason they may not be in as good health is because of the income and welfare disparity between whites & other races
