It's OK for cancer patients to be "white":

Asian and Black patients in England wait longer for cancer diagnoses than white patients, study finds
...
Based on the NHS data review conducted by the University of Exeter and The Guardian, minority ethnic patients had to wait an extra six weeks to get diagnosed.
...
For esophagogastric cancers, it took white people 53 days to get a diagnosis while Asians waited 100 days, which is six weeks longer.

For myeloma, the median wait time for white people was 93 days, but for Black people, the wait time was 127 days, which is over a month longer.

Meanwhile, the average longest waiting time for the diagnosis of breast cancer in white women was 43 days, compared to 56 days for Asian women and 73 days for Black women.

A delay in diagnosis could significantly impact a patient’s chances of survival as one may contend with limited availability of treatments or lessened effectiveness of delayed treatment.

According to University of Exeter researcher Tanimola Martins, their findings “help explain” why ethnic minorities “have poorer outcomes for some cancers
and report worse experiences of healthcare.”
...
“extended wait times may cause additional stress and anxiety for ethnic minority patients.”
...
“These findings are deeply worrying, with potential life-altering consequences for the health of black and Asian people,”
