I recently moved and had to pick a new family doctor. I did basic research to try to make an informed decision but I just could not distinguish who was probably better. Because of this DEI and racial/sexual preference business, I figured a heterosexual Asian or white male would have been least likely to have been carried along despite lack of ability. That is a terrible attack on the others who may have got there on brains alone, because of the shadow cast over them. Life is just not fair nor just. | |||

Often enough, a black professional had to be better than his white peers, just to graduate. The problem here is, you have to possess enough intellect yourself, to know what you're looking at.

My experience is in a “blue state” and while at one time I would agree with Tom that a minority had to do better in order to just get by, that has changed in the last 30 or so years. Med school and college entrance requirements (schools I have personal knowledge of) are definitely easier for minorities to get in to and while I didn’t see them passing with lower grades I did see they would get preferential treatment in getting in to preferred residencies and if they had trouble academically, the schools provided them with support that other students did not get like tutoring and additional help with taking tests (usually meaning they got unlimited time on exams and such). The board exams and licensure testing are color blind but some specialties do have oral exams… I cannot comment on those. In general, professional schools are so high demand that anyone in the top 2/3 of applicants by statistics can pass- probably more like 90% can… but they only take 10%, if that, of applicants. It’s a pretty small percentage that fails to complete and be licensed. IMO, it’s a pretty low bar. Maybe the law school bar is harder… but geez we have a great plentitude of lawyers, and not all of them are top tier, and they all passed the bar, so I kind of doubt the bar is any more difficult than any other professional certification for those trained in it. | |||

I can confirm for you that this has spread even to dark red states. I taught at my state university law school and was required to sit through “Pronoun” class that taught how I was required to baby these snowflake future lawyers. Apparently laughing and insisting on teaching professionalism and ethics is not the correct answer. I did pass “Remedial Pronouns” so was allowed to teach. | |||

I haven’t taught at a university since the 90’s. But, by the late 90’s…this was already beginning in the professional school where I was employed. The standards that students were held to across the board were drastically lowered as well as the admission standards when it came to maintaining quotas of ethnicity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Mike, The ER is a different case. That statute makes sense. Folks come into the emergency room on death's door and a doctor shouldn't be prosecuted for trying to save their life. | |||

it might, but i doubt it- there's no "white only" scholarships, dorms, grants, loans, awards, or lower academic standards to join -- and yep, there are certainly lower standards for SOME people to be admitted - where POC people are admitted with lower grades and test scores -- if that's different from where you live .. oh, wait, california? yeah, it certainly has different meaning to sane people opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

except in cases where the ER is the PCP for some folks, and the bills are rarely paid after the fact - because they know, eventually, they will be seen, treated, and released -- i wish er's had a triage that said "not an ER case, leave and go to an urgent care" .. almost all urgent cares take obama care opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Hospitals have been trying through case law and lobbying to be removed from traditional legal liability by claiming they are not responsible for ER docs they contract. Mu original observation stands. | |||
