Jolie interviewed a 21-year-old medical student named Malone Mukwende, who is aiming to teach others how race plays a role when providing patient care
The racial disparities in the medical community have been a hot topic over the last few years and now Hollywood veteran Angelina Jolie is opening up about how those systemic biases directly impacted her own child.
In a Time article published Wednesday, the 46-year-old actress interviewed a medical student named Malone Mukwende, who is aiming to teach others in his field how to be more thoughtful about the role that race plays when providing patient care.
Jolie shared that the 21-year-old was inspired to take on this topic after he noticed that “almost all the images and data used in its teaching were based on studies of white patients,” which often leads to “misdiagnosis, suffering and even death.”(snip)
“I have children from different backgrounds, and I know when there was a rash that everybody got, it looked drastically different depending on their skin color,” she explained. “But whenever I looked at medical charts, the reference point was always white skin.”
She then went on to share an anecdote about what took place last year when her eldest daughter, Zahara, who is Black, had surgery.
“Recently my daughter, Zahara, whom I adopted from Ethiopia, had surgery, and afterward a nurse told me to call them if her skin ‘turned pink,'” Jolie recalled about what is clearly advice you’d give to someone much fairer than her child.

Hey Angelina, your daughter is a 16 y/o girl.
Did you ever think, maybe she wants to keep her health concerns private? She’s a young lady now, subject to teenage peer pressures.
Angelina, stop talking out you ***. You are a Hollywood actress and not real bright. You mouth lines that others write for you and then think you are smart. You are not.
Utter BS!
News flash you stupid twat - black skin turns PINK TOO.
A rash is a rash regardless of the sample photos.
But then we’re now being “trained” by marxist doctors who are barely out of high school.
I used to point out here how some folks adopted children of color as a virtue signaling statement
I was roundly scolded
Well.

I wish these self absorbed, moronic millionaire a-holes would just STFU their “struggles”.
When I went to medical school on Mars, all the photographs and teaching materials were of martians. If this clown don’t like it, go to medical school in Africa. I’m sure it will be more to his liking. The asshole hits the jackpot by being adopted by a millionaire celebrity and still complains. I would be willing to bet if it was not for his mother he never would of been accepted.
STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! She was being warned about a serious auto-immune reaction.

Vitiligo
Loss of pigment in the skin due to autoimmune destruction of the cells that give skin its color
Focal pattern: loss of skin color in only a few small areas that may merge together
Segmental pattern: depigmentation on one side of the body
Premature graying of scalp and/or facial hair
This morning, a short time after breakfast and three cups of coffee, I downloaded a couple of celebrity opinions.
Attention whore in action.
They buy them as virtue signaling...
Hey don’t forget me! I’m a victim and virtuous! Hey, look over here!
She brought a child out of the environment where the biological pool was associated with that child into a foreign biological pool the child was disassociated with and then complains the child is not represented in those surroundings.
When I want thoughtful insight I’ll listen to bubble dwelling narcissistic substance abusing self absorbed drama queens who got insanely rich parroting lines given to them and playing make believe. And to think when I was a kid I was made fun of for believing pro wrestling was real.
It has long been obvious that Angelina doesn’t think.
So the pictures are only of light skin, and someone used the word pink when speaking of dark skin. THEREFORE all Whites must be sent to concentration camps and be stripped of all their money and possessions?
What about those flesh colored bandaids? Surely that’s grounds for eternal reparations!
