NBC's medical drama New Amsterdam has been ripped to shreds for a woke episode in which a patient develops a tumor from 'internalized racism.'
The drama series, which concluded in January 2023, gained renewed attention this week after an X user posted a clip from a 2020 episode in which a teenager is diagnosed with tumors.
In the clip, a psychiatrist on the show can be seen approaching the boy's mother and telling her he had the teen answer some questions from a group called UNREST, which he said were 'designed to measure someone's level of social resistance.
'Your son feels threatened on a daily basis, like everything he's earned can be taken away. He's disenfranchised,' the psychiatrist says.
'But because his life is seemingly free from all this, because he can't name it, he's internalizing it.'
When the mother seems confused, the psychiatrist says: 'Racism - I think your son's tumor was caused by racism.'

It’s impossible to tell the difference between wokeism and satire. I, for one, am laughing hysterically.
Ok. It’s been on five years and ended its run in May. It had 89 episodes.
Ahh. So this show is a comedy. Got it.
NOT the babylon bee!
See, this is why Trump cannot be re-elected. Millions of people from Barbara Streisand to Linda Ronstadt will get tumors from Trump’s brand of vicious, Charlottesville racism.
I for one have never even heard of this show, but I watch very little network tv.....and this kind of trashy jackassery is exactly why.
I woke up when I saw a network series slip an obama bumper sticker into one of the episodes in 2008.....of course, it was displayed in a toilet stall so that was certainly appropriate.
Maybe they were using it to cover a glory hole, making it doubly appropriate.
I’m surprised they didn’t make it “Trump’s fault”....
The New Law and Order did an episode where the white victim of a rape refused to press charges against the black man who did it and even, IFRC, apologized to him for her white privilege
Bad luck.
Racial Tumor quotas are administered by the CDC and the National Institutes of Health.
The Good News...
Racial Tumors are NOT caused by Global Warming!
does anyone here know the ICD-10 code for “internalized racism”?
i guess they decided to go out with a woke bang ...
“Racial Tumors are NOT caused by Global Warming!”
but what about chem trails?
If racism causes tumors then a lot of black folks are in deep deep trouble for hating whitey.
O.M.G. 🙄
This is the kind of garbage that made me realize years ago, network sitcoms are all propaganda nonsense. I don’t watch the fakestream networks anymore and haven’t for years.
