Luxon against Maori health authority

[Magoo]

luxon
M─üori have shorter lifespans than P─ükeh─ü.

is he saying we are different species? one lives for this long, and tis one lives for this long.
everyone keeps telling me we are all the same beneath the skin.
so having brown skin makes you more likely to die earlier.

have i got that right?
the difference is genetic, not some physical/environmental construct?
so we lower the super age for maori and give up on increasing life expectancy?
just let them die sooner but equitably.
