You do you, but when my life is on the line, I'm going to choose the person that wasn't pushed through by some quota.

  Judgements about whether a doctor was pushed through by a quota at the beginning of their education based on the color of their skin - that’s a straight up racist thing to share. You simply don’t know whether someone was an A+ student at 18, or whether this made them somehow more capable at improving your outcome. Personally, I find it much more useful to simply look up whether a doctor is recently pursuing medical publications or research in their work. That’s usually a hallmark of someone who is actually up to date about their specialty outside of daily practice. Just like a dev with an active GitHub page or side projects is better than someone who scored well on their SAT’s to get into a CS program because dad told them to.

    It's not racist of me to react to a racist med school enrollment system.

      Well, I only said that this was a racist thing to contribute to the conversation. It’s one thing to be privately making racist decisions (based on flawed racist logic), but it’s another to be describing them openly as the right thing to do for your health IRL. And sorry but no, flawed institutional policies somewhere out there don’t make a racist reaction any less racist. It is what it is.
