I’m not a doctor, but just as an observation I bet that more well-to-do white people are bigger hypochondriacs. I think when people don’t have to battle every day for the basic necessities (food, clothing, shelter, security, safety) as well as their civil rights, they have more time to make/focus on other problems. It’s a luxury to consider your happiness and well-being all the time. Whether this luxury is necessary or admirable, who’s to say? But being white and rich a wimp does make. And I know. I was raised with these people. I am one of them. As comedian George Carlin said: ‘Anorexia? White rich girls who don’t eat? Ah, let ’em die. I’ve got bigger problems.’
