The whole med school thing really bothers me. Why do we have different standards for different people based on their race? I went to a black surgeon the other day, and in the back of my mind, I couldn't help but think "you may not be as good as other surgeons," because med schools discriminate.

Agreed. And the flip side is I want the strapping athletic black man to carry me out of a burning building rather than the scrawny white woman.
Because I like big black men,

This should be a massive national scandal, and not aimed at him, but rather the entire broken system of Affirmative Action.
Pretending that students need X to be qualified to become doctors and then waiving that requirement based on the color of their skin IS racism. It also shows how arbitrary that X becomes when a school has different motivations than profit.

Go ahead, y'all, and speak out publicly against affirmative action, just make sure you have your GoFundYourself account ready to go in case the excellent people notice your opinion.

Another reason to move away from the college model.

QUOTE QUOTE Pretending that students need X to be qualified to become doctors and then waiving that requirement based on the color of their skin IS racism. Sadly it's all baked into the institutional frameworks too thoroughly to get rid of it. Depending on the accreditation agency, many schools are required to have a minimum percentage of various races in their programs, regardless of other qualifications. There are massive government grants geared towards boosting the number of minority applicants. The system doesn't care one bit about how good those applicants are, though.
Jeb Bush disagrees with you.
QUOTE Bush signed an executive order implementing the "One Florida" plan in 1999, which banned racial preference in state school admissions. It also created a program guaranteeing that the top 20 percent of high school graduates would gain admission to a post-secondary institution and some funding for need-based financial aid.
Florida is now one of a handful of states preventing race-based admissions policies and the only one to do so by executive order. Other states had done so by ballot initiative, a route that ran into obstacles in Florida when supporters tried and failed to put a constitutional amendment on the 2000 ballot.

Good luck to Florida. But they're now missing out on a bunch of grants, which I'm sure makes some people unhappy.
And I wonder what the accreditation consequences were.
