My brother and I had this discussion 30 years ago when he was in medical school. I said then the same thing others have said here, that I wouldn't go to a black doctor if they were going to let less qualified black students into medical school. I haven't and I won't.

The other part of the story is that he said he wouldn't have gotten into medical school if they had based their selection process strictly on the MCAT tests and GPA's. He said the class would have been 90% Jewish and he would not have been there.

Now that I'm a consumer of medical technology, I'm not sure I wouldn't rather have the Jewish guy who didn't get in because of my brother treating me. But then he's probably my broker.
