I'm not sure what the stigma is with Asians and giving blood. I can perhaps understand the older generation and C-Lai's not giving blood because they don't know better/superstitious. However, the younger generation should be more educated and well aware of the benefits of giving blood. I can tell you from talking to my mom about it, she seems to be of the belief that your body doesn't regenerate blood after donating. I've told her that's not the case, and she's slowly catching on but it's stuff like this that you probably don't notice as much of the older generation of Asians donating blood. It's also a similar story with organ donation with Asians.
That said, in the last few years I've been giving blood, I've noticed more and more Asians at the clinic when I've gone which is a good thing. I've also noticed quite a few hot girls donating too if that's any incentive for some people  |
actually that stigma is more towards the oriental side of the asians.
the Sikh community donates a LOT of blood, if you look at the boards at the clinic there are tons of donations from them.
