[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure why people expect life to be perfect. That they should never encounter someone rude or offensive. Why are they giving so much power away to other people they randomly encounter?[/quote] It's not just about 'rude or offensive'. It's about people making decisions that adversely affect outcomes. For instance (we're of Indian origin), one of my nieces is doing her residency. While she was in medical school, she saw blatant favoritism towards white and especially male students. Regardless of merit, they were given more prestigious positions and awards (the winner in their group was a guy that had faced disciplinary actions twice, and should have been disqualified). Other than from POC physicians and teachers, the POC students could not get good letters of recommendation. This isn't encountering someone rude or offensive; it's actually impacting their ability to practice medicine.[/quote]
