A poll from Reddit's r/braincels shows that whites constitute only 28% of that forum's population, with the largest racial demographic being South Asian (eg. Indian).

For female White widows in the same age group, suicide rate only increased by factor ~4 when going from being married to widowed, and it is not significantly higher than the national average.
