Tests scores and med school acceptance rates. I don’t think this is “white privilege”

So, essentially a 31 on the MCAT for a white is equal to a 25 for a black.

This happens everywhere. Tulane and LSU are particularly notorious for it, and many of the more qualified applicants they turn down are the ones who actually want to stay in Louisiana and address the physician shortage. They will accept an out-of -state minority kid with inferior credentials over an in-state non-minority kid with a better profile 7.5 times out of 10

And we wonder why the country is going to shite
Accept the most intelligent people. Plain and simple. They shouldn’t even know the race of the people when accepting them

The idea of the best and brightest no longer applies. There will be consequences for this down the road.

I really don't care if every doctor in the country is Asian as long as they are the most qualified

Give me the Asian doc then as I know that cat has to be sharp.

I assume Indians are listed under Asian?

Wouldn't we all love to know that our airline pilot or heart surgeon was a diversity hire that wasn't as qualified as the other guy?

I’d have walked into any law school I wanted and gotten full rides at most with a 165 LSAT and 3.95 GPA if I were black.

The sad part of this is in the coming years there will be thousands of people needlessly die due to incompetence in the name of “woke equity”.

Our society is committing suicide. And it fully deserves the collapse that is to come.

Wait until 50% gets same treatment to fly commercial planes. I was downvoted but we all know minorities and women are getting a pass on the testing to be pilots to get numbers to 50%. Yay us.

We are so fricked as a country. They’re basically giving up on any progress in the future in the name of diversity. What a crock of shite.

Education, qualifications, and intelligence are highly overrated in medicine. Diversity and equity are so much more important. (Sarcasm Font TM).

As a black man, I really hate seeing this.

Being pitied is much worse than not being respected.
