Nurses and midwives forced to announce 'white privilege' to Aboriginal patients.

New code asks medical staff to reveal their white upbringing before treatment.

...

Australian nurses and midwives are being forced to announce their 'white privilege' before treating Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander patients - a move which has been slammed as 'racist to its core'.

The term 'white privilege' defines the unearned social and cultural advantages awarded to people with white skin which are not enjoyed by people of colour or non-white backgrounds.

No problem. Refuse to treat them. Let the aborigines find medical personnel from their own race if it is such an issue.

“I’m obliged to inform you that I am well-trained and competent.”

Precisely. If the Lord waits, this era in human history will be looked upon with much laughter.

Finding a different kind of work or moving to a country that does not demand such would be a good idea.

Why must they “announce” it? Do the totalitarians feel this is a necessary step before it goes to “denounce”, as in nurses must “denounce” their privilege before serving others?

Should they wear a “W” on their arm as well?

Mitch McC of KY in 1985 tried to make a national name for himself by pushing for sanctions on South Africa. He is undoubtedly pleased to learn how the nurses must prostrate themselves.

The same thing was attempted in South Africa that the US did in the west in the 19th century.

We did it when you could get away with it internationally and created the greatest nation the planet has ever seen.

Their timing was bad. It is being reclaimed by the jungle.

Being ashamed of oneself on account of the actions of people who are now long gone, is a mental illness.

Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms. Patient,
I am white and have used my original status to further myself to such an extent that you now find yourself in need of my expertise. I apologize to you that I take great pride in having done so.
Sincerely,
Your More-Than-Competent Nursing Professional

Why would you have to announce being white? Can they not SEE that you are white?

I’d be proud of my “white privilege” in that situation. After all, I’d be working to treat patients from a racial/ethnic group that couldn’t come up with a “trained nurse practitioner” in 10,000 years.

WTF? If the boomarangers can’t tell a person is “white” and has had a “white” upbringing, f*** ‘em. They don’t serve to be treated anyway. They’re braindead.

I am surprised that so many here on FR do not understand the reasoning behind this compassionate ruling.
The INDIGINOUS peoples must be informed that their caretakers are WHITE because ALL native peoples are, so sadly, BLIND and cannot see who or what their caretakers are.
By modern “standards” this is a normal rule.

“Let the aborigines find medical personnel from their own race if it is such an issue.”

I don’t think the aborigines are demanding it. The Australian establishment is. Refuse to treat the establishment and their families.

We no longer have an individual identity; all we have is a group identity.

That’s a step backwards in the wrong direction — towards group guilt, etc. Guilty by reason of birth in the wrong group.

Adolf would be proud to see his ideas finally embraced by liberalism.

I just want to know that my doctor didn’t get in to medical school on an affirmative action program.
