I don't think inverted uteruses, pick the race. I don't think a uterus much cares what race you are. I had an experience of inverted uterus many years ago don't care for it again. The mother (if memory serves me well ) was her first baby. I think it is due to the rush to have the placenta out more

I don't think uteruses or perineums pick the race either. However if by some chance there really is a higher rate of uterine inversion and/or perineal tearing in Asian women, then I think we should ask why? Too easy (not to mention wrong) to blame it on race when it is most likely their obstetric

I seem to have an opinion on everything. Oh well. I do work with several Asian midwives. They are very 'active' managers of the birthing process, and their women seem to end up with tears frequently. Also, during my midwifery training we cared for a lot of Asian women. They tend to push before
