The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks -- a noteworthy subject.

So another noteworthy matter I stumbled upon as I read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks was that African American people were referred to as the “syphilis soaked race”. I don’t think people of any race or color should be referred to as a “syphilis soaked race”. I would not like to be referred to as this and I know nobody else would like to either. Again this is just another thing I found significant enough to make a note of.
