Americans are biochemically diverse
The new medicine shows that we’re biochemically separate and unequal — and regulators are starting to catch on.

I don't see what's so special here. The majority of these biochemical and medical differences you scream about are simply group averages with greatly varying heritabilities. Bildil, a favorite of your crowd, only works on one segment of the US black population for example.
Only because of group averages, which, again, can flucuate and shift greatly from group to group. You act as if there's something wholly unique to blacks that sets them apart from everyone else.

Yes, but it works better in blacks than in non-blacks.

Actually blacks are genetically distinct from other groups. According to Professor Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza:
The most important difference in the human gene pool is clearly that between Africans and non-Africans
This is Cavalli-Sforza's description of the map that is the capstone of his half century of labor in human genetics: "The color map of the world shows very distinctly the differences that we know exist among the continents: Africans (yellow), Caucasoids (green), Mongoloids … (purple), and Australian Aborigines (red). The map does not show well the strong Caucasoid component in northern Africa, but it does show the unity of the other Caucasoids from Europe, and in West, South, and much of Central Asia."
One's basic genetic makeup has nothing to do with simple disease-related issues like this. What are you even talking about?
Actually genetic makeup has a lot to do with these disease-related issues.
