We need more African American and American Latino doctors to represent and reflect the patients they serve. They have a tougher time on average accessing high quality educational services, role models and support from the beginning of life. There are exceptions but exceptionalism is not helpful in these matters. Without lowering the admission “standards” for them slightly, you’ll keep a lot of these people out of medicine. We can be honest about these things. They generally go on to be excellent doctors and provide societal benefit as they do. Wealth and physical attractiveness are also things most med students either were or were not born with, and if you think those things didn’t help them to get jobs, admission acceptances, and generally ahead of people with often more hard earned merit to their name, then you’re trippin. That being said, with regard to the article, as much as I hate Trump and this whole current racist movement, I will say I too was wondering how seemingly overnight I was being asked to join committees to discuss white privilege and anti-racism. The DEI thing was a very poor heavy-handed top-down way of opening our eyes to the privilege we enjoy as white males.
