Final answer:

The incomplete question about ethnicity and body image cannot be accurately answered with the given details, but the 'model minority' reference is matched to b. Asian Americans. For health disparities in the U.S., the statement that Black people have lower cancer rates than White people is false. Race and gender are indeed factors that affect an individual's political opinion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question regarding ethnicity and body image seems to be incomplete or contains a typo, and thus, we cannot provide a false statement from the options given (white, black, white males, native americans). However, we can address the reference question regarding which subordinate group is often referred to as the "model minority." The correct answer to this question is b. Asian Americans. The term "model minority" is a stereotype that suggests a particular minority group is more successful than other minority groups, often in terms of educational achievement and economic status. However, it's important to recognize that this stereotype can also lead to unrealistic expectations and pressure on members of this group and can mask the diverse experiences and challenges of different individuals within the group.

The question on health disparities in the United States provided an example of statements, of which one is not true. The incorrect statement here is c. Black people have lower cancer rates than White people. In reality, Black Americans generally have higher cancer rates and mortality from cancer compared to White Americans. Disparities in healthcare access, socioeconomic factors, and potential systemic biases contribute to the higher rates observed in the Black population.

In terms of the question regarding the effects on an individual's political opinion, the factors listed (race and gender) have been shown to influence political opinions. Political beliefs and behaviors are multifaceted and can be affected by a range of demographic factors, including race and gender, along with many other individual and societal influences.
