Sorry Miss Lynch but folks admitted to medical school thanks to affirmative action are likely to not be as accomplished in medical school as those admitted NOT using affirmative action.
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.”
What about the awarding of medical school degrees? Does that discriminate between people who can pass the courses, and those who can?
“black and Latino faces were conspicuously sparse”
Sparse? Not absent? And how can one tell a Latino from face? Can’t always.
And, how about Asian faces? Were they sparse?
Meanwhile, as usual, no worries about oriental or Indian students and their passing/award rates.
May these people all end up one day in an emergency room with their lives in the hands of affirmative action physicians......
Okay, now do NBA players
The graduating classes of 18-20% may only be that way because of affirmative action. If admissions were completely blind and based on objective standards only, it could very well be 3%
Affirmative action is racism.
Blacks are destroying civil society in a very slow way
It used to be that if you were confronted by an M.D. who was of an “under represented group”, you could count on them having earned their degree. Now, you must assume an M.D. of such a group was given their degree without having earned it.
This is the sort of thing that motivates Walter E. Williams.
Its called cognitive inequality. Some folks are good at brain-related subjects. Others are good at sports, etc. Capisce, Mr Med Student?
Its what we call "genetics", Mr Dr-in-Training.
It's too bad the people at the college are too stupid to recognize the error of their thought process. It casts the quality of the school in a poor light.
This is the height of insanity. Basically, no one can be recognized for excellence or accomplishment unless every race is perfectly recognized among those recognized. Where will this end?
It doesn’t say whether she deserved her med school spot OR deserves an AOA membership, but if she doesn’t, there goes some white or Asian person’s ophthalmology career. Surely she doesn’t expect a free pass to a very competitive field?! /s
We need different countries from these people. Nothing else will fix this.
Being the best at what you do doesn’t count if you ain’t some other color....and they wonder why tings keep getting worse.
Objectivity is Racist!
Logic will not be tolerated in the new Utopia, unless it happens to support the Party’s political judgement.
