[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The AMA advocates increased scholarships to foreigners attending US medical schools.

This is a resolution passed at their June 2025 House of Delegates meeting.

Not for US citizens.  For foreigners

That is why we are broken [/quote]

foreigners are willing to go to podunk red areas and serve the communities there because "real Americans" want to be in cities. Without those foriegners getting AMA grants, most of the rural, red state hospitals would be operating without doctors.

[/quote]

There is wholesale discrimination against Americans, especially white men, and you say we need foreigners?  The nerve![/quote]

DP. Okay, so rural folks should have to drive an hour to a hospital? Fine.

White MAGA men are NOT studying science. They are eschewing colleges because Trump and co are vilifying them. When Trump tells his base it's patriotic to study math and science, then you will have a case. [/quote]

Rural white men don’t have access to quality education so of course they don’t pursue academics. [/quote]

the idea that rural white men are enduring some kind of special suffering and discrimination right now is beyond ludicrous.

OMFG.  Rural white men and women are why this country is falling apart.  Tons of people have REALLY challenging lives and don't turn to hatred and bigotry.  Buh bye.[/quote]

You are literally scapegoating an entire group of people for the problems of our world and basing that on their skin color and class. You are not making any individual distinctions just skin color and class.

That’s exactly the same kind of prejudice that black people and other minorities have been fighting against for centuries. Why would it be ok just because you are targeting white people?

That’s exactly the kind of hypocrisy that contributes to a complete lack of change in our society. Just tribal warfare between the peasants while the billionaires rob us blind. [/quote]

DP.  What you are saying about scapegoating a particular demographic is true but the point you miss is that despite all the MAGA blather, rural Christian white males (and females) have never actually faced anything near the massive institutionalized systemic disparities that others in America have.  So it's far from "exactly the same."

Ironically you go on to scapegoat another demographic - the wealthy elites.   Not that I disagree, they have indeed done a lot to fuel tribal infighting among the rest of us to distract.

Just pointing out a bit of self-awareness to track.[/quote]

Thank you for your thoughtful response. Racial prejudice does not require “massive institutionalized systemic disparities” in order to be considered a singular repulsive tendency that humanity cannot seem to shake off. Wealthy elites are a discreet and objectively measurable “demographic” whereas racial distinctions are largely constructs which is why it is legal to discriminate based on wealth but not race.

Class solidarity without racial divisions is the only path we can take to avoid modern feudalism. [/quote]
