re: DEI brainwashing is working on younger generations

I'm having a hard time refraining from calling you lefties bad names at the beginning of posts.

This is well documented, across many industries, including the medical and aviation industries, and the government entities that regulate them. I only use this example because it recently popped up again in the last two days.

I don't care if you're a fuchsia midget who identifies as a beer can. Be the best at what you do, you'll get the job. Could we just stop there? You know, content of the character style?

I’d argue that homogenous groups excel in academics in comparison to forced diversity DEI groups. Be glad she didn’t go to school with her hombre

That was not the critique. You are addressing a stereotype.

The post I responded to jumped the shark and assumed his liberal WF stereotype must apply to this individual as she's a WF. Given the facts here, that is an unfounded assumption. Unfounded doesn't mean she's not AOC personified. It means there is no basis for the conclusion, given what was posted.

What are the FACTS here?
(1) An Hispanic girl addressed in the OP scored well enough to qualify for interviews in the vast majority of OB/Gyn residencies, regardless of skin color. So her acceptance for a number of interviews would be expected.
(2) The surprise is not the number of interviews the Hispanic friend received. The surprise here is the number of turndowns the OP's daughter got, given her USMLE test score.
(3) The fields in medicine which specifically attract/demand high-end ClassRank/TestScores tend to be lucrative procedural specialties which are less call laden.
(4) OB is heavily call laden. Meaning that in a busy practice, you'll often spend a night of call at the hospital, instead of at home. Translation: There aren't a plethora of >265 USLME candidates applying.
(5) NO ONE! and I mean NO ONE! running an OB/Gyn Residency is going to turn down an applicant with a 275 USLME for an effing INTERVIEW because of her skin color! That is not happening. There is something else at play.

It is a virtual certainty the OP's daughter knows all of the above. So when her father went to the DEI premise, she corrected him.

Let's be crystal clear, DEI is a part of med school and, in some instances, residency selection. There simply is not evidence the OP situation is one of those circumstances.

Let's game out a scenario.

You have 2 candidates. Both went to the same college, both have the same major, both have the same GPA, both have similar extra curricular activities.

Both apply for jobs with a fortune 500 company. One is a white guy. The other a black guy.

Is there any doubt who gets the offer?

You know the answer.

We all know.

I get your scenario and I understand that when there are two equal candidates, a choice must be made. I think it's comical that you think the black candidate is chosen every time. That is certainly not what I've observed in real life.

Are you on a med school or medical residency selection board or directly exposed to the process in some way?

I've been turned away twice personally.

I was also flat out told I was the wrong color.

Well, that does suck. Especially if you were told that. I've certainly left interviews thinking that I wasn't given a fair shot because of the color of my skin, but have never been told anything like that. I'm not sure what I'd do in that situation. I hate that for you and acknowledge that is wrong. How do you fix a broken system? A system that was tilted to the advantage of some in the past and is now tilted to the advantage of others. Most of us probably agree.. just choose the best candidate for the job. But there are always other factors/agendas/goals at play that influence things and cause things to not be quite fair.

Copy all.. S&P500 companies then. I was just describing my experience.
