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.

[BenLurkin]

Considering race in admissions is racist on its face.

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.

[a fool in paradise]

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.....

[marktwain]

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.

“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.

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?

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

[Spok]

So they’re going to stop judging people by the color of their skin? It’s about time!

“Behind the scenes, Trump is acting on his promises.”

That he is. A trip to any number of websites tracking his wins shows thousands of wins.

Asian players are historically underrepresented in the NBA.

[Socon-Econ]

Why the focus on Americans of Asian extraction? Is DOJ afraid to oppose discrimination against whites?

[Albion Wilde]

If med schools keep lowering standards to shoehorn minority candidates in, they are doing the opposite of what they intend. They are arousing suspicion that docs of color were affirmative action acceptances, and not as qualified. That’s how that works. And it’s unfair to persons of color who actually did make the grade.
