Sorry Miss Lynch but folks admitted to medical school thanks to affirmative action are likely to not be as accomplished in medical school as those admitted NOT using affirmative action.
Remember this when you see a med school diploma:
“...around 3 percent of students chosen for the distinction at Icahn were from a racial background that is underrepresented in medicine, which includes blacks and Latinos. In that same period, about 18 percent to 20 percent of each graduating class at Icahn came from those groups.”
What about the awarding of medical school degrees? Does that discriminate between people who can pass the courses, and those who can?
“black and Latino faces were conspicuously sparse”
Sparse? Not absent? And how can one tell a Latino from face? Can’t always.
And, how about Asian faces? Were they sparse?
Meanwhile, as usual, no worries about oriental or Indian students and their passing/award rates.
“around 3 percent of students chosen for the distinction at Icahn were from a racial background that is underrepresented in medicine”
Underrepresented is key here.
There are plenty of non-Caucasian minorities I’m sure. They just aren’t “underrepresented, so it doesn’t count.
May these people all end up one day in an emergency room with their lives in the hands of affirmative action physicians......
Okay, now do NBA players
The graduating classes of 18-20% may only be that way because of affirmative action. If admissions were completely blind and based on objective standards only, it could very well be 3%
Affirmative action is racism.
Blacks are destroying civil society in a very slow way
It used to be that if you were confronted by an M.D. who was of an “under represented group”, you could count on them having earned their degree. Now, you must assume an M.D. of such a group was given their degree without having earned it.
This is the sort of thing that motivates Walter E. Williams.
What I saw in med school was some minority students being coddled beyond belief. Flunk courses repeatedly and still allowed to stay. It was a joke.
One of my friends who was black and very smart said he would never go to a black doc because you don’t know if they made it thru because of their brains or because of affirmative action.
Exactly....
Its called cognitive inequality. Some folks are good at brain-related subjects. Others are good at sports, etc. Capisce, Mr Med Student?
Its what we call "genetics", Mr Dr-in-Training.
It's too bad the people at the college are too stupid to recognize the error of their thought process. It casts the quality of the school in a poor light.
This is the height of insanity. Basically, no one can be recognized for excellence or accomplishment unless every race is perfectly recognized among those recognized. Where will this end?
And will there now be a certain percentage of transexuals in med school to make libs happy? Never mind grades or skills any more!
“Sorry Miss Lynch but folks admitted to medical school thanks to affirmative action are likely to not be as accomplished in medical school as those admitted NOT using affirmative action.”
Agree. And I STILL BELIEVE that one of the REAL reasons for the push for socialized medicine is the FACT that when people are given a CHOICE, they generally will NOT chose those who have been given their license to meet some ‘numbers’ quota, but instead they will choose those who EARNED their way to their certification (i.e., Jews).
