JAMA in crisis after editor suggests maybe systemic racism isn’t the cause of all health disparities

The left finds reality/truth unacepteble so they create a false reality and operate within that realm.

Soviet Union, China, North Korea, Iran ... United States. Who would have ever thought we would fit into the same category of censorship.

The classic conservative view of "since I'm not outwardly racist then racism doesn't exist" is now the Truth. Ok guy.

This is disgustingly true.

It really does seem like leftists like this person are living in an alternate reality.

I know ! actually acknowledging racism exists? crazy talk

I think what’s being projected here (without actually saying it) is that racism is not the cause of every single problem in this country. There is little doubt that it exists- from all sides- from all ethnicities. However, it has been inappropriately delegated as the reflex answer to all problems. I think that premise would be difficult to deny. Thoughts?

Yes racism exists, as demonstrated by the systematic use of abortion to suppress poor minority populations in the states. Later we import fully grown poor minorities to keep a cheap labor force. Thank God we are so enlightened and altruistic.

If you think medicine is an objective, science-based disappointed in 2021, this is evidence that it isn’t. It is agenda driven and corrupted by the insanity of our culture just as everything else. The broke woke can go to Hell. They are hurting minorities by obstructing the pursuit of medical truth. If it’s not racism, it’s something else, and we need to learn that cause in order to deal with reality effectively. The woke don’t care about medical reality, just submission and conformity.

Of course they should be in trouble. Racism is a bigger problem than Climate Crisis at this point. Just look at the data and science. Not too hard bro.

My thoughts are your supposition is incorrect. The issue was the docs specifically said "there are no racist doctors". that seems to the opposite of everyone thinking it exists.

The unvarnished truth

(1) It hard to understand how anyone on the right can say the left lives in an alternate reality when they still believe Trump won the election. Right is more accepting of bizarre theories and anti science dogma (no global warming, no covid) than anyone on the left.

(2) The left sees racism everywhere. It seems the lefts greatest fear is for others to think they can't see racism and don't thoroughly condemn it. Rarely will a person on the left say, that had nothing to do with racism. The left will severely over react to even mild statements.

Try some self awareness.

Most conservatives believe Trump lost, Most conservatives believe in global warming but aren't convinced it's man-made. Every conservative acknowledges covid.. Where do you get your cockamamie assumptions? Stop watching CNN and tune in to Fox for some truth.

So if we just say "racism" in every instance where we notice a disparity in medical issues, isn't that bad for the race suffering from whatever medical malady we are discussing? It's a misdiagnosis of a medical problem.

If we notice that X ethnic/racial population is more apt to suffer Y medical condition, just assuming it's "racism" could seriously hinder actual research to find out why this group has a tendency toward this condition. Is it diet? Is it lifestyle? Is it a genetic predisposition?

If you cant ask those questions, then the problem will never get solved.

There is structural racism in medical school admissions that needs to be eliminated. Malpractice filings show that female asian practitioners have the lowest incidence per capita of malpractice filings against them, and yet they are actively discriminated against in medical school admissions in favor of other demographics due to their ethnicity. Eliminating these structurally racist policies would result in better health outcomes for all people, regardless of race.

It's much easier to blame structural racism than cultural disparities for differences in healthcare outcomes.
