This is true and black people consistently get the label more today too and there is recent evidence that black people are more like to end up on long term injectables---is it really a racial difference in disease occurrence and compliance or is it prejudice?
But yeah I think Russia is the other place that takes activists and gives them a MI label and locks them away. This is one of the reasons people are so afraid of psychiatry there is no way to prove you are sane once you have the label.
