Dr Howard Bauchner, editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), was placed on administrative leave on Thursday

It came after a tweet from the journal's official account read: 'No physician is racist, so how can there be structural racism in health care?'

JAMA said the tweet was promoting a podcast episode featuring two white doctors discussing structural racism

The tweet and the podcast sparked an outcry from other medical professionals, who called both 'cringeworthy' and 'appalling'

An independent committee says Bauchner will be replaced by an interim editor while its investigation is ongoing

You can't be white and say there is no racism. Instant cancellation.

Something something gay earth.

I find it amazing how we cancel people over 13% of the population just crying over any subtle offense they can find.

Ironically, the AMA is a very liberal organization. I don’t know anyone who belongs to that organization.

It's not 13% crying, there are plenty of black people who don't participate in these reindeer games. What percentage of white people are the ones crying racism constantly?

Most black people aren't offended by stupid shite. It's as much young white girls who try to be white knights as it is black people. Especially older black people. They have seen true racism in their childhood.

I mean, it’s pretty bold statement saying absolutely 0.
Should he have been canned? Don’t know about that.

Without listening to the podcast, it sounds like a title to a “point/counterpoint “ type of discussion, which is obviously discouraged these days.

I’m more of a New England Journal of Medicine person. Not a big JAMA person, and really don’t know anyone who is.

Guess he hasn’t kept up with the news: Everything is racist.

This.

It’s white liberals crying and and being offended for blacks who probably don’t give a shite about stuff like this.

And if you think about it, that’s pretty racist itself.

That will teach Dr Bauchner and anyone else who bucks the system.
