Heart disease was a metaphor. People who hold hatred in their hearts and they suffer from a lack of empathy ad a result. Racism is an extension of hatred, it can be applied out of hatred to any chosen group.
Further, a person who is suicidal will receive treatment as long as certain criteria are displayed. I would suggest that we treat racism as a mental disorder and establish indicators and treatment.
