Black doctors are forced out of training programs at far higher rates than white residents

Where is he wrong? There’s strength in numbers and if we had more black students working together to become doctors, there would be more of them for us to choose from. All I have are dot-head docs around me…I know the intelligence/talent is out there in the community…we gotta start emphasizing education in needed professional fields.
I just sent this article to my fiancé whose a radiologist to get her take.
We’ve talked about her residency experience a number of times and ironically the people that gave her static were other black and Indian female doctors with the black doctors being the worst.
She said she didn’t have any problems with the white doctors male or female, who were often helpful. It was often the white male doctors who went to bat for her.
I’m sure she’d agree with the article knowing the experiences of her other doctor friends. Just interesting she had an opposite experience.

This is closer to my experience as well actually. A decent number of the black doctors seemed to be trying to cement themselves as the only one. I saw this less from men and more from women but in the end, there is this odd feeling that they think you're a "minority hire" (I've heard some use this term) and don't deserve to be there, even more interesting since some of them will go hard to add more spanish-speaking doctors while ignoring that some of them are simply not qualified. Indians, I noticed, were simply trying to add more of their own people but they were on some disrespectful shyt a lot. It was weird. The problem with some whites is that they help if not outright create policies that contribute to the problems we see. Also, the ones making policies often aren't the ones on the floor, which exacerbates problems overall. The ones on the floor will be great. The ones teaching great, the ones higher up will see only numbers and not care about individuals, all the while, if you talk with them, will come across as decent people (sometimes). The lack of cognizance some of the ones at the top have adds to these issues if not outright creating them. Systemic causes seem to be lost on them and a conversation that they have hard time having. Add that the government does little to support residencies and then you have this problem compounded.
Update on this came this year. She lost her suit, appealed, and lost the appeal.

We need our own hospitals.
Why is this happening?
One of the most highly respected and highly compensated professions available, the barriers to entry would be higher.
My wife is a physician and she’s experienced racism and xenophobia because they felt a woman like her should “be in the kitchen” or “in the fields”.
So is this why they got rid of DEI?

We are still living with the effects of slavery. Many of these people still haven't gotten over the fact that we cannot be bought and sold like cattle. A lot of white people see us as a resource to be used and thrown away. If we aren't entertainment, we should be unpaid or minimally paid labor doing the jobs they don't want to do. They still don't see us as the same as them.

We need a parallel economy/government in America.
