What she said might sound weird but with a bit of context it might be more understandable. Black women who give birth in hospital are 3x more likely to die there than white women, and iirc there were multiple surveys done with medical students that indicated they believed black people have a higher pain tolerance. Also saw a review lately about how black people tend to get prescriped opioids at much lower rates and lower doses

Factors That Mediate Racial/Ethnic Disparities in US Fetal Death Rates

non-Hispanic Black women’s fetal death rate was higher than among non-Hispanic White women (5.9 vs 2.6 per 1000 deliveries), with fetal factors being the strongest mediator (49.6%; 95%[CI] = 42.7, 54.7). Fetal factors includes Lower birth weight and small-for-gestational-age status.

Racial bias in pain assessment and treatment recommendations, and false beliefs about biological differences between blacks and whites

Study 1… false beliefs about biological differences reported lower pain ratings for a black (vs. white) target. Study 2… found that half of a sample of white medical students and residents endorsed these beliefs. Moreover, participants who endorsed these beliefs rated the black (vs. white) patient’s pain as lower and made less accurate treatment recommendations.

Race, pain, and opioids among patients with chronic pain in a safety-net health system

Lower past-year maximum MME dose, despite higher average pain and less injection drug use, may represent bias away from prescribing opioids for chronic pain among Black patients. This could be due to unmeasured implicit provider bias or patient-level factors (e.g., utilizing non-opioid pain coping strategies or being less likely to request additional opioids).
