Depression engulfs area’s Puerto Ricans
Researchers cite poverty, isolation
Puerto Ricans in Greater Boston are in the midst of an epidemic of depression, researchers reported yesterday, with 58 percent of middle-aged women and 38 percent of middle-aged men diagnosed with the condition…Researchers and specialists in the study of health disparities attribute the high rate of depression to the stress of poverty, social isolation, chronic disease, and poor diet.
If you just read the first few paragraphs, you would think the depression is linked simply to poor diet and health. But even those issues are symptoms of the larger problem: isolation brought on the Ghetto of Multiculturalism. It took the Globe, owned by the New York Times Co., about fifteen paragraphs to get to the heart of the matter, why the Puerto Ricans themselves think this is happening–because they haven’t assimilated:
The preliminary results released yesterday include more than 1,000 Puerto Ricans between the ages of 45 and 75. The participants have lived in the mainland United States for an average of 36 years, and have a median income of $10,200. And a significant proportion said that they felt they had not adapted to the dominant, English-speaking culture.
Yeah, that just about says it. They make no money because they don’t leave their community and still, after 36 years, don’t speak English. They’re isolated and alone, become depressed, so they eat. Which makes them fat and diabetic, which makes them even more depressed. This is the legacy of the Left and it destroys people’s lives.
Note the lingo: the “dominant” English speaking culture…Honey, it’s not dominant, it’s the “native” English speaking culture.
Dominant, of course, is about domination, which is, of course, always bad. Bad English speakers. Bad Dominants.
Good Lord.
