I'd like to see the race and gender of the flight attendant, Delta hubs of Atlanta and Detroit have helped Delta hire a ton of black female flight attendants.

I'm guessing an old white guy and her being a young black women came up, and the attendant just picked the old white guy. This doctor making a big deal of it is half the reason she most likely wasn't chosen.

Funny how this is questioned, yet when a "black engineer" says it, it goes unquestioned. And if we, as ALL races, go by the same standards when it comes to racism, being offended, etc., then, yeah, it's all the time.

Yep. She may be lying...or she may be telling the truth.





And like I said, if she is lying, you'll never hear about it. That's what people have an issue with. This is simply a "look at me" post on social media.

I have no idea what happened, but I know you clowns are on here discrediting her becauase she is black.



And there you have it. That response encompasses my entire point. So it's ok for you, or her, to assume that everybody's opinion is based on her race. Gotcha.

I'm somewhat suspect of affirmative action doctors. Anyone else?? I'd like to see some test scores and shite.

Why is a person from Houston flying Delta? United would have been much cheaper and a direct flight.

If she would have been a real doctor, she should have pushed her way there, ignoring any and all attempts to stop her from doing her God damn job! I bet she would have pushed her way to the front of a makeup sale.

She's ignorant if she doesn't realize it doctors don't look like her

This is irrelevant. You aren't learning shite in undergrad pertaining to the practice of medicine


I spent about 300 hours in clinic shadowing docs during undergrad, worked as a licensed pharmacy technician, took basic anatomy, took medical terminology, and worked in a biomed lab for two years during my undergraduate years. You may not learn as much, but you definitely have to start learning medicine during undergrad.

Last I checked, OB/GYNs are still MDs.

What is an OB/GYN going to do anyway?


Yeah it's not like they go through four years of undergraduate education, two years of preclinical education, two years of clinical education in all ranges of fields, a full year working 80+ hours per week after that treating every single common condition under the sun every single day (including Holidays and weekends), and then train for 3 more years actually doing what they want to do (in her case OB-GYN).


It's like saying "I don't trust Ed Orgeron to coach middle school running backs, since he is an offensive line coach"
