The problem is that "they" includes most "conservatives" , and certainly most BoomerCons.
No racial differences, only social and economic factors is at the core of the "Boomer Truth Regime".

The American Medical Association today insists that medicine is characterized by white supremacy.

(A) BECAUSE there are no significant differences in ability between genetically distinct groups, THEN
(B) ANY differences in measured ability (IQ, etc) or performance outcomes MUST be due to racism in the measuring test.
If B is invalidated, then they must admit that A is false, and they will NEVER do that.
Disparate impact thinking that forces identity-based results creates a desperate society.
A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both. - Milton Friedman.
One answer not motioned on the article: LOCALIZE THE POPULATION % BY RACE.
The Lying Left says blacks are 13% of the population. But what is the % black population in, say, NYC or LA? Match the % black population in each city to the black crime in each city, and you’ll get closer to how the police and DA should be approaching their problems.
It's impossible to take seriously an organization that espouses that. They've lost all credibility.
“Requirements lowered for Medical License exam, Medical College Achievement Test (MCAT), cancer research, to achieve diversity in a variety of professions..”
While I was in the hospital a young black woman came into my room and said, “I be Dr. xxxx and I be doin’ your operation tomorrow.” As I hadn’t heard the test results that were needed and the operation was based on, I questioned her. She hadn’t talked to anyone else on the diagnosis team. She hadn’t read my reports. When I asked her technical questions about why I needed the operation she repeatedly used the phrase, “I tell you what the text say, the text say (xxx).” When I spoke to the original surgeon and related what had happened, she rolled her eyes and said, “I’ll take care of it.” The original surgeon did the operation, and I was very happy. I never saw the other woman again.
In the next hospital stay, I bled out due to a medication mistake. I collapsed to the floor at about 3am. When I came to a black surgeon and two orderlies where running while pushing my gurney. The black guy was on the phone fighting for a space and being repeatedly denied. Fast as hell on his feet, he called someone else and asked if the maternity operating room was open. It was. They changed direction and he was yelling into the phone for someone to get the required equipment and blood to the maternity section. I had every confidence that if I could be saved, he’d do it. His grammar and English were picture perfect. Huge difference.
Words fail me.
I guess we’re on our own here, folks.
Time to resort to more natural remedies when possible, and preserve the knowledge we already have for tough times ahead.
Why did you post a larger excerpt so we can make a decision about going to the source? Is there a copyright problem with Hillsdale?
The doctor that did my heart surgery was from India. The anesthesiologist was a white woman. I selected him because he was the best in that teaching hospital and head of cardiac surgery and a professor.
My dentist is Vietnamese. My regular doctor is a woman. When I had electro cardioversion my doc was a lovely lady from Mexico. My orthopedic surgeon was a white boy. The instructor that taught me to fly multi engine aircraft was a white lady. Southwest Airlines valued her skill and she became a senior training captain. All were selected by my estimation of their expertise.
I tire greatly of this insane political correctness. I look for skill and expertise, I do not look at color or sex.
I would say it is characterized by tyranny practiced by our government. Mandating certain experimental drugs and labeling them as "safe and effective" without inadequate testing for one.
Certain medicines are prescription when I should be able to buy them without nanny government requiring me to go to a doctor for a prescription (especially maintenance drugs that a person is required to take to maintain life/qualityoflife).
IF there are “no significant differences in ability” then WHY, pray tell, are certain “genetically distinct groups” SO dadburn stoopid? oh...sorry friends. thought that was my inner voice of disdain for the folks who think there is no real difference between intelligence and non-intelligence. “access to information in an educational setting does not make one smart. what one Does with that information determines whether one is or becomes smart”.

One of the tragedies of the DEI movement is that they will make it impossible for qualified black physicians and other professionals to work and achieve the same success as whites. In the past I could go to a black doctor and have some assurance they are competent. Now - and the same logic holds true whether the patient is white or black themselves - a patient has to consider the risk that a black doctor is a DEI (Didn’t Earn It) grad. How can we entrust our health or other important activities to a DEI quota recipient? It’s too much of a risk, and the public will respond accordingly.
In practice, proving the absence of discrimination to a mixed race jury involves a costly and disruptive effort to prove that the defending organization and every person and decision-maker in it are not racist. The easier if ultimately toxic way to avoid that is to admit and promote unqualified people and fervently preach DEI and its mindless slogans and teachings.
I was in HR in late 70s when “disparate impact” started...I hated it, refused to learn how to calculate...eventually left HR...felt like a gov’t job.
If the AMA started recommending Chinese herbs or home remedies from the South, it wouldn’t be that scientific, but it might be better than the crap being shoved at us by “whites” who work for Pfizer and Moderna.
Because of this, anyone with an IQ above room temp will avoid any black doctor, even though he may be another Ben Carson.
Examine each individual by the content of their character and the rationality of their thoughts. Listen to every word coming out of their mouth. Their reason, their expertise, their honesty, their respect for other thinking and other life is very important.
Sorry bout that.
If you can’t conjugate the verb to be, then you’re not cutting on me.
