lol cry more.

In point of fact, [b]I prefer Asian doctors and surgeons because they are hard-working, competent,[/b] and overcame affirmative action working against them. See, sometimes racism works in your favor![/quote]

As an ICU RN I worked side-by-side with medical students and residents for 15+ years in an academic medical center in a setting where we had many critically ill and dying patients. I will say (and I'm sure that this will be deleted in about 5 seconds) that outward empathy and compassion is less prevalent in SOME Asian medical doctors/residents than other races.  I have no doubt that this mostly cultural but it impacts how they are viewed by some patients and staff members.

Now watching this get deleted in 3..2..1..

I am an Asian and I don't find your post offensive. Idiotic maybe but not offensive. [/quote]

Ha.  Thanks for personally fulfilling the sterotype.  [/quote]
IMO, the ICU RN actually proves OP's point of racism against Asian Americans.

What if I said all the black doctors I've met were kind of dumb?  I'm sure that impacts how they are perceived by their peers and patients.

See how that goes?[/quote]
