The scene was trying to convey that this expert witness was lacking in his credentials, and that it would impact the trial negatively. I don't believe it was meant to make a statement about affirmative action. Had that character been certified in all those things they were asking, his race wouldn't have been a problem.

If it was just credentials why did he act so weird the first time he met the doctor? He legit acted like he just saw something disappointing.

10/10 movie.
Need to watch this again. All the lines are so sharp. One of my older friends is a high level federal civil attorney, complex litigation with like Williams and Connelly, and he told me that aside from the bomb stuff, the movie is right on.
Why? Why? Because people are fukking incomprehensible
What if we were on the wrong side?
Wrong side? This case reeked from day one!!

It’s ironic that motherfukker Donald Trump is trying to make DEI hiring be treated as a stand in for the affirmative action that existed during that movie where it was believed that black people were inferior at every job.
However in that movie the black doctor as a witness was considered a bad witness because it was Paul Newman’s belief that nobody would take him seriously because he was a black doctor hired during affirmative action.

A decent look behind the curtain at fixers, the kinds of people leveraged to do that job...and more relevant to recent goings-on, a good look at the mechanics of boxing in whistleblowers.
