So someone having dark pigmentation in their skin helps you determine that he or she has these other important, non-score-related traits?[/quote]
Not PP, but in some cases yes. There is reams of evidence that doctors treat black patients differently than white (and even other minority) patients. Black doctors are less likely to do so...and for that reason alone, I think it's important to have more black doctors. Sorry if that upsets you.

So the reason for race-based preferences in med school admissions is because white med students are racist?
[/quote]
I don't work in med school admissions, so I can't say for sure what their reasons are. But to me, yes, in a sense that's a reason. It's not openly racist,[b] it's implicit bias [/b]that has been studied and documented in the ways doctors interact with their patients...even if the doctors are not openly racist. Also, black patients trust black doctors more.[/quote]

Do only non-black doctors demonstrate an implicit bias?[/quote]
