It’s really bad, and has been for over 40 years.

It has been terribly unfair to those who had better merit but were rejected.

It is also an unfair Scarlet A on the qualified minority doctors.

But it is MOST unfair to the patients who suffered from poor care.
Nobody cares about diversity when their life is on the line, they care about maximal competence.

Of course I have seen a lot and have lots of stories from medical schools. From hospitals, etc
Of course I won’t share the here.

But I will say the majority of minorities being accepted over other more qualified candidates were the sons & daughters of successful minority parents doctors, lawyers, businessmen/women.
Sadly, this misguided Affirmative Action was not reaching the underpriviliged.

The whole thing is sad. I am not complaining personally. I just knew that I had to score higher and be better as a white male to make, so I did that.
But many deserving people were rejected because of race, sex, and ideology and I know this with certainty for all three.
