[Sera]

not caring about exclusively black things doesn't make one racist though

i don't LIKE sickle cell, I just don't give a fuck

but i'm not like cheering it on

"YEAH TORTURE THAT NIGGER, SICKLE CELL! WOOO! Here's your honorary KKK membership etc"

[Milkster]

Sickle cell is just evolution at work.

[Linliel]

I actually find sickle cell fascinating, because of the anti-malarial capacity of it. We studied it in second year bio at uni.

So is AIDS.

Spoiler: show

BAM

[Milkster]

Sickle cell won't actually kill you (but the infections will) but it prevents you from getting a deadly disease such as malaria, which is prevalent in Africa.

HIV/AIDs is just like the first part of that sentence, hmmm.

it is ridiculously painful and it can cause a bajillion complications that will kill you so... yeah

sickle cell pts have relatively short life expectancy

you know I think he'd probably prefer the malaria

[Sera]

you know I think he'd probably prefer the malaria

of course, who wouldn't? malaria sounds like a roaring good time

[Linliel]

[Howie Roary]

if having malaria is cool, you can call me Miles Davis

[Linliel]

stop using faggot words, lin

oh yeah sorry

[Day]

yawn

[Howie Roary]

hi day

[Linliel]

Anyway the anti-malarial thing is from being heterozygous so you can be non-malarial and non-sickle-celly. Just don't have kids with another heterozygous person (or "carrier") or there's a 1/4 chance your kid could get the full blown thing.
