James Lindsay has been talking about this cancer spreading to every discipline for a while now.
Whites and Asians especially need to take their health seriously since we know we are hated the most by "progressives".
I think this comment by Axel Hume at the bottom highlights a big aspect of this growing problem:
Hume states that the writer of this piece undercuts her argument when she says that these dissenting doctors are not secret bigots but progressives who believe that there are inequities in medicine that need to addressed.
The author should not be paying service to the woke's core tenets of the existence of inequity.
Someone's identity should not matter in order to complain about woke excesses.
Even this author capitulating to the woke when making complaints against them is a huge problem.
At least you know if your doctor is White or Asian he's probably really good because he had to work extra hard against affirmative action.
I personally only see Asian male or White male doctors for this very reason.
An affirmative action correction is in order everywhere.
Despite getting race-based preferences in every aspect of life, a lot of chip-on-their-shoulder blacks make some startling claims. No, you didn't work twice as hard to get half as far. You were advantaged every step of the way.
Genuflection to this nonsense is very common even among those who are trying to fight against it.
If blacks started living healthier, married before they had kids, there was not a grossly disproportionate rate of shootings in this demographic, I am pretty sure that health outcomes would improve without addressing all these supposed 'inequities in medicine'.
It doesn't. If you're white and you oppose the cultists, you're dismissed for being white. If you're black and you oppose the cultists, you're dismissed for disagreeing with them. If you're white and agree with them, then you're fine too.
