Yes, because SCOTUS has a conservative majority that votes in the interests of powerful white men who wrongly believe they’re being discriminated against. Trust me, they didn’t rule against Harvard to benefit Asians. |
What health outcomes? |
I hope you realize that sending less qualified doctors to serve disadvantaged populations is moving in the wrong direction. If you sincerely believe that people are better served by doctors from their own race, even when any objective measure suggests that these doctors may be less qualified, then — you certainly may be right — but I hope you recognize where the burden of proof lies. As I see it we are gambling peoples lives on some pretty tenuous facts. |
Regardless of the implications, you admitted Harvard lost the discrimination lawsuit. That’s a good first step. |
NP. It’s not racism because it is racism only to correct the effects of historical racism. Why don’t you understand that? |
No, this isn’t how it works. A black doctor isn’t automatically better for a black patient. How can anyone think on such simple terms? The best test scores and best grades make the best doctors. It is a knowledge based field that requires the same problem solving thought process that these classes and exams are measuring. That is exactly why these are critical for admission. |
It's not racism, it's racism. |
huh? First of all, it’s still racism. Second, as an asian American, why do we have to pay for the cost of white people’s past crimes as if we were part of them? |
Paradoxically, thinking in these simple terms definitely does lead to less equal outcomes, because you are sorting the worst doctors, on average, to the greatest need. |
It was the white people who enslaved and murdered your ancestors, not the Asian people. They’re getting away and laughing their asses off at your idiocy when you’re lashing out at and focusing on Asians. |
We are. - white person |
People without empathy can be extremely intelligent and still make bad decisions/choices. For a while tech systems have been shown to be biased because the people making them were white and Asian and they didn’t think to check for anti black bias; not those researchers faults exactly, just not where people think first all the time. You can be the most amazing doctor and researcher but have the worst patient care around. |
Makes perfect sense. Typical white people trying to shift the consequences of their crimes to Asians. |
This isn’t the 1960s. We have all lived through DEI training for implicit biases. |
Stop blaming men for the crimes of women. |
