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.”
“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.
