Good grief, I wouldn’t want a black doctor or lawyer.
Would you?

Well, interestingly enough, I have one of each. Both highly qualified. Both quietly “pissed off” by minorities that didn’t “get there” by their own merit.
Same for female airline pilots. As a line captain I served on a couple of airline pilot hiring boards, one with a female captain that was a holy terror with female applicants. I asked her once, if she should be a little easier on the gals. The response was quick and succinct. “Look, I paid my dues and worked up from the bottom. I’ll be damned if I’m going to let some affirmative action broad come in here and sully MY reputation”.
God love her.
I would if it were proved they were competent. Even if they were granted admission to practice medicine or law by aa, after a number of years it would be apparent if they were competent or not. Word gets around. By the way, I'm totally opposed to aa or affirmative discrimination as I call it. I know of white doctors who've had their licenses taken away for incompetence or other reasons. It's a sad fact that aa has put a stigma on black professionals. They might think they've accomplished something, but they'll never get the respect they might have rightfully earned in the absence of aa.
