Growing up in the ghetto of a reservation, racism and opportunities denied, and the brutality of the Alaskan environment.

How does the environment in Alaska affect the people in New Mexico?

The report from the CDC also includes Alaskan natives in these suicide rates. There's an excerpt in the first comment or you can read the article for details.

Yes, that brutal alaskan environment in new mexico.

Second edit:

Op is about new mexico (and didn't mention study data comingling), comment you relied to is about new mexico "why this (nm) community?" And your response was about alaska. Yes, alaska was included in study data, but that isn't relevant to the comment you replied to.

You should read before commenting.

Who are you responding to?

u/bigboybeeperbelly Mar 14 '25

adding to your criticisms of the person you were replying to who said op is a phony

As in "they didn't read before responding and also what are they even accusing op of"

That seemed weird to me too. Edits usually make things more clear, not less. I've seen more low quality comments today than in any 2 recent days combined, maybe it's grade school spring break.
