Lumpy Space Queen
The CAR's life expectancy has dropped to 50 as of late 2019. In the US, it's 78. Unless you're a Black man. Then it's 72. Black non-Latinx males have the lowest life expectancy in America, in spite of being a minority. The US, on average, is 75% non-Latinx white. Black males make up 13% of our total male population but have the highest mortality rates. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db342.htm
