[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t stand the way Robby treats Mohan, probably the best doctor there, with empathy to boot. So hard on her. [/quote]

He is *such* a jerk to her, even last season when he was less of a jerk overall.

I feel like this will ultimately be explained as him trying to dissuade Mohan from emergency medicine because he thinks she's too sensitive (like him) and wants to spare her the grief and burnout. But it's impossible for it not to read as him taking out aggression on a female, not white, but incredible bly competent doctor with good bedside manner, while doting on Whitaker and talking him up all the time. And Langdon, another white guy, was his favorite before that. [/quote]

Please don’t make this a race thing.[/quote]

It's not "a race thing." It's very common in workplaces for people to choose to mentor the subordinates who remind them most of themselves. Which leads to unconscious bias in terms of opportunity. It does seem like Robby tends to see himself more in doctors like Langdon and Whitaker, more so than Mohan or Mel. Likewise, Al-Hashimi may see herself more in Mohan or Javadi. It's a natural impulse. But that's also why it's worthwhile to point it out because for someone like an attending, it's important not to let those unconscious instincts get in the way of training and developing the doctors who work under you.

You can't just pretend like race and gender don't subtly impact the way people relate to each other. Of course they do.[/quote]
