Ethnicity: White

[The Nigerian]

Say friend I hate to point out the obvious but even if you check white, when a doctor look at you ummm,..

Well, that's the individual doctor. I'm talking about the system. The "race" and "ethnicity" are self-identifying, optional questions with no basis in science that they ask for reasons that are ultimately detrimental for those who select anything but "white" and "not Hispanic."

Now, I know damn well that I have the sun-resistant skin. I just don't want to be treated poorly from the jump because of that.

Look, man. People classified as "Black" have worse medical treatment and outcomes than people classified as "white."

I'm not trying to help them fvck me over.

How is checking off white on the medical forms going to change the outcome when the doctors diagnosing and treating you see you are black. you dumb, unbathed c00n scum.

If the forms didn't matter then they wouldn't ask.

OP may have a point doe

Nah, he really doesn't. It's a compete misunderstanding of what the stats are inferring.

Can anyone in medicine confirm this ? Because Ive been doing this for almost 8 years and Ive never seen the quality of patient care change because a person was black.... The only time I see that is when a pt doesn't have insurance and even then it wont change drastically.... If you get poor MEDICAL treatment due to your race then that is solely on the doctor, PA, or nurse ive never seen a collective effort to shyt on black folks in medicine EVER. Thats just my opinion from my experiences, not saying you're wrong, Ive just never seen it.

Bro, people in London don't know it's foggy, they only know when it's MORE foggy.

Chances are you've seen it but you don't think twice about it. Hell, you may have administered some medical injustice yourself.



The reality is this. If they read "Black" a person will be treated differently. Yes, they will still be treated differently in person, but on those charts you'll get the life saving anti-coagulant. You'll get the diagnostic test. It's real as FVCK out here.

I don't know about y'all but I want that decent, normal treatment reserved for those classified as "white."

ofcourse being caught in an obvious lie during the interview process didn't help.

Look, I just linked you to published articles from reputable journals and news sources that all came to the same conclusion regarding the way people who are categorized as "Black" are treated.

Hell, the AMA even admitted to and apologized for racism in the field in the past. You really think things just changed since you arrived on the scene? Are we supposed to believe you're a transformative figure like Mandela or something?

If you said you were black and turned up asian I don't know what else u lied about if you're not even sure of your race. That is not the same as receiving/not receiving a call because of stated race.
