Can’t expect her to know that. LOL

It doesn’t matter. The one who graduates at the bottom of their medical class still gets to put the letters Dr. after their name.

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%
*******************************************************
What is scary is that over 96% of students admitted to medical school end up graduating. The stats on the 3 plus percent that don’t graduate include those who voluntarily drop out after finding out medicine wasn’t their “cup of tea”. Remember the old joke “What do you call the med school graduate with the lowest grades? Answer: Doctor.”.

Patients BEWARE!

It doesn’t say whether she deserved her med school spot OR deserves an AOA membership, but if she doesn’t, there goes some white or Asian person’s ophthalmology career. Surely she doesn’t expect a free pass to a very competitive field?! /s

My dear man, it is NOT the blacks. It is the Communists/Radical Left, and they’ve got their collective foot on the gas. With the Jihadis riding shotgun.

We need different countries from these people. Nothing else will fix this.

“Now, you must assume an M.D. of such a group was given their degree without having earned it.”

Yep - at this point, one either has to see a picture, or look for Jewish, Indian, or Asian names before selecting a doctor.

Otherwise, they’re playing with fire.

Being the best at what you do doesn’t count if you ain’t some other color....and they wonder why tings keep getting worse.

“around 3 percent of students chosen for the distinction at Icahn were from a racial background that is underrepresented in medicine”

Did they do DNA testing on all of their students? I'd bet more than $0.05 that it's higher than 3%.

I'm guessing that they used self-identification, which is quite often inaccurate. What box did the student check on the application?

And probably a lot higher under the traditional Democrat "one drop of blood" criteria.

Objectivity is Racist!

Logic will not be tolerated in the new Utopia, unless it happens to support the Party’s political judgement.

Yes.

I’ve seen that chart and read the scientific article reporting these results.

I don’t know how the liberal racists react to this.

One day in the future, as Ms. Lynch is being prepped for her bypass surgery, it would be real justice if the RN getting her ready whispers “Oh, by the way, your surgeon got into Med School on an affirmative action quota”...

Just sayin’...
