“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.”
I know from personal experience this is not true. Most of the research scientists in Houston are Asian and Middle Eastern with a few from Europe thrown in. Very, very few are white Americans.
Hospitals and clinics in every urban area import enough doctors from overseas that there is no shortage of African doctors or (dot)Indian doctors in any major city, nor of Filipino nurses at any hospital.
The problem is that US black Americans don't get a chance at doctoral programs if they go to public schools. Private schools yes, but very few make it from public schools.
