Behind the scenes, Trump is acting on his promises. While RINOs and Democrats are freaking out over his latest random-but-not-so-random tweet, he is getting things done under the radar.

Great. Too many liberals at my old alma mater.

Considering race in admissions is racist on its face.

Considering race in admissions is racist on its face. It's a sign of just how cockeyed our society has become that anyone can think otherwise.

Black and Hispanic people are historically underrepresented in the medical field - which can be detrimental to patients of color.How so? Nell doesn't explain.

I don’t see many white doctors these days at hospitals or offices.

He wrote that diversity in academic medicine is not only a necessity at the [school of medicine], but is a necessity nationally as well....why, exactly.....
To: Zhang Fei
He wrote that “diversity in academic medicine is not only a necessity at the [school of medicine], but is a necessity nationally as well.” Black and Hispanic people are historically underrepresented in the medical field — which can be detrimental to patients of color. In 2012, just 7.4% of medical school graduates in the U.S. were Hispanic and 6.8% were Black. Among practicing physicians, 5.2% were Hispanic and 3.8% were Black.
Why is diversity in academic medicine considered a necessity? Remember, we are talking about diversity of skin tone and one kind of ethnic ancestry? Why?
The presumption, presented without evidence, expected to be assumed without evidence, is that discrimination against some people of color and/or Hispanic ancestry prevents them from achieving the same levels of employment in all fields as, say, Jews, Asians, or in the case of Hispanics, other European based ancestries.
There is virtually no reliable evidence to support such assumptions. There is plenty of evidence to support the contention the assumption is wrong.
Why then is it considered a necessity?
Strictly for political and ideological reasons.

I about fell out of my chair when I read that. How on Earth does a doctor’s skin color impact the treatment of a patient whose skin tone is different?

While I was getting my drivers license renewed here in Houston, they were running ads on the screens about how all the medical research done was done by old white people and that research led to bad decisions on the health and welfare of people of color.
Oh yeah, they want serious ethnic diversity in the medical field, its going to be another area where groups self segregate because you just know white people arent going to be looking after the black and brown patients correctly. /wth and loads of sarcasm

“Black and Hispanic people are historically underrepresented in the medical field WHICH CAN BE DETRIMENTAL TO PATIENTS OF COLOR.”
That makes no sense whatsoever. Ridiculous.

Somebody once commented here that, for instance, the grads of Howard University College of Medicine have a statistically high number of malpractice awards above the mean, increasing the insurance burden among all MDs, and therefore increasing medical costs to patients and taxpayers.
Perhaps Howard Med could use some diversity.
Then again, I think they got rid of the medical school dean that tried to increase standards, and replaced him with a concerned racist.

Some time ago I dated a woman who was a Harvard grad. She told me that a classmate of hers,who was Harvard's Vice Chancellor of Admissions, told her that were it not for Harvard's “affirmative action” admissions policies every Freshman class would be made up entirely of Asians and Jews.

“Patients of color” can’t have white doctors?

Its ridiculous - the race baiters have continued to push the fake concept that in any profession or customer service line, or for that matter, education, that I need somebody who looks like me. No, you dont - you need somebody who can do the job they are trained to do, hopefully the most qualified!

You would think by the drug commercials, that all doctors are black.

” (if not for AA) every Freshman class would be made up entirely of Asians and Jews.”
I don’t have a problem with that — if they’re the best of the best.

Its about as logical as if I got on a bus with a black bus driver and FEEL my experience is diminished by not having a driver who looks like me.
Total leftist nonsense.

Yes,that was the implied point. I don't recall if I was led to believe that she,or her classmate,had a problem with such a scenario.
