@iamtheFLYEST None that seems to matter with racists lol

If someone with good grades didn’t get into med school, then it’s probably because they didn’t interview well, lacked valuable medical & nonmedical experiences, terrible personal statement, or just overall not a good person!!! Let’s start there 🙏🏾

@Tapatio117 @Appyg99 These nimwits are arguing about entrance exams! 🤣🤣🤣

@Appyg99 The MCAT is just that, an admission exam lmao all students go through 2 additional rigorous medical board exams before ever even becoming a resident trainee then another at least 2 after. Plus 1000s and 1000s of hours of dedicated training. Trust me, they’re qualified.

Assume you live in a world where everyone is of blue race. Your 3yr old is very sick. Doctor A scored 80th percentile MCAT, comes from a poor background. Doc B is in the 99th percentile, comes from wealth. Who would you choose to perform lifesaving surgery on your child?

@Appyg99 @Ouponatime38 The doctor who scored high on board exams NOT entrance tests, and those who earned high marks in their bedside manner class. This is a very weak “argument.” You people are terrible in logic.

@Ouponatime38 Assume you don’t have this information. It’s a thought experiment…

@Appyg99 @lilBiggerr You have to use hypotheticals because reality doesn’t fit neatly into your weak and crumbling narrative. Sink with it.

@lilBiggerr It’s called a hypothetical and there is good research that shows certain people struggle with hypotheticals.

@TheLaurenChen @ISampson160639 @kingkhieu Yes. Anything else?

@ISampson160639 @kingkhieu Do black people get called the n word unprovoked?

I get called a chink every day and have never suckerpunched or threatened anyone over it.

Some weirdo named LiberTia Texas Crusader thought IT was sticking it to me by calling me a “retard.” 🤣🤣🤣 I am cracking up over here.

@Maazijnr @Gottalovechaze 🤣🤣🤣

@Gottalovechaze Is She taking all the degrees to the other side? Wtf is she doing with fourth college degree at 92?

lmfao she said she not paying back no loans 😭

@Jeffrey03217123 @DDavidSteele1 @drterrysimpson Does the question of where he got it from matter? What about the validity of what’s in each article? These are published, verifiable papers.

I understand why many Asian families feel frustrated in elite admissions systems. In intensely competitive environments, there is a real perception — and sometimes evidence — that exceptional academic performance still does not guarantee admission. That feeling should not be dismissed. But admissions committees also confront another reality: if you have 100 applicants from privileged, high-performing educational pipelines with nearly identical scores, resumes, research access, tutoring, and opportunities, it is not irrational to also value the applicant who achieved similar academic success despite poverty, instability, underfunded schools, family hardship, or lack of institutional advantages. That is not abandoning merit. It is recognizing that achievement exists in context. And medicine especially is not merely selecting expert test takers. It is selecting future physicians who will care for human beings across every class, culture, language, and circumstance in society. The irony is that many people who defend “objective merit” often become deeply uncomfortable the moment merit is evaluated in anything broader than a percentile ranking.

@HumanByProxy @drterrysimpson Oh, delightful! You checked my profile. Your kind = “sheeple.” That is, people who refuse to dig deeper and fight with facts; you fight with emotion and follow others who do the same. Does that answer your question?

@goodseeker_ @drterrysimpson What's 'my kind', Professor?

I think it’s funny having a non physician tell me what makes a good medical student or resident or physician

@jimbo_himself @kevinblue345 The data doesn’t support this, bud. Go do some research.

@kevinblue345 Black people have it the absolute easiest in America and this is what you guys do with it. No accountability whatsoever.

America truly being a country founded in racism and white supremacy and 100 million white people want to be part of the confederacy and bring back the old days. The worst part of this whole thing is this new dialogue from the right trying to justify using the N word

@jordog42 @AdamArandaNews @GigglingGanon They’re okay with Chud, but not with this.

@AdamArandaNews @GigglingGanon You mean like chud the builder

Bank manager feels she gets to decide what rights people have on a public sidewalk. She calls the police and lucky for her she got a deputy that is just as ignorant about the laws and citizens rights as she is. Deputy L. Crawford of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office was the officer that responded and tries her best to violate this man's rights. ​The reason the call came in from the bank manager was due to concern that the man was filming from the sidewalk and capturing sensitive customer data on their monitors. The first thing Deputy Crawford did when she arrived was to immediately attempt to trespass the man and demand his identification. ​ The man remained on the city sidewalk, which is traditionally a public forum where filming is a protected right. ​Florida Law (§901.151): Under "Stop and Identify" statutes, an officer cannot legally demand ID unless they have Reasonable Articulable Suspicion (RAS) that a crime is being, has been, or is about to be committed. ​The man argued that if the bank didn't want their screens seen, they should have moved them or used privacy film. Legally, anything visible from a public space is generally fair game for a camera. ​The tension peaked when the deputy noted the man was "physically shaking" as a justification for a wellness check, while the man countered by saying he gets frustrated when dealing with a bad cop referring to her being "baited" into an illegal detention. ​Know your rights folks, do not allow ignorance to bully you out of them. Also that bank is terrible if it has any screens facing a public window. The bank is responsible for putting people's personal info at risk. Let me know if you agree or if you have a different take.

The crazy part about this Yale thing is that it just shows folks are going to complain about black people whether they meet the metric or not. It’s sad but not surprising. Through this whole thing we figured out that Yale admits about 10 black students per year. We also learned the median GPA and MCAT of black students admitted to Yale was a 3.88 and 518 MCAT. (These are insanely good scores for anyone. ) For those of you that don’t know Median means half have higher half have lower. Therefore 5 of out of the 10 or 50% had a HIGHER GPA and MCAT than 3.88 and 518. Hopefully the merit crew can all agree without question on their admission. Now, about the 5 that had lower. Many would argue as they have in my comments for the last 3 days “these are the people taking Someone else’s spot” But is that true compared to the data from the rest of the class? This table here shows the latest available data showing MCAT and GPA of all accepted students at Yale. It shows that of those accepted 60 had greater than a 518 MCAT and 56 had less than 518. So 52% had above and 48% had below a 518. Remember the split was 50/50 for black students. This is not a statistically significant difference in entrance standards. Nearly half of Yale’s entering class that year had an MCAT of less than 518. Only 5 out of the 56 who did were black. The other 51 were white students, Asian students etc. There were 10 students who applied with > 518 who didn’t receive admission. Why is the merit of the 51 from those groups who did get admissions not being called into question. Why is nobody saying that they stole someone else’s seat. Why is it that the merit calculator only comes out when the student is black student whether they reached that 95 percentile mark or not. Why are they only ones being scrutinized? Thats what I have an issue with. Either we scrutinize every student that got in below that mark, all 56 of them, or we admit the scrutiny was never really about merit. You have to Pick one. The reality is the admissions process is about so much more than just MCAT and GPA. If someone writes in your letter of recommendation that you’re the rudest most pompous person they’ve ever come in contact with you’re not going to get in. If you cannot hold a conversation in an interview and you are extremely awkward, you are not going to get in. physicians have to be smart yes but they also should be personable,compassionate, professional , empathetic and if you can’t show that through your letters, your activities, your personal statement, your interview because all you can do well is answer multiple-choice questions you are not going to get in and this goes for everyone black white whatever. A 528 means nothing if you can’t look a scared patient in the eye and make them feel safe. Admissions committees know that. Patients know that. The only people who don’t seem to know it are the ones counting other people’s scores instead of building their own résumés.

@LVpolitic @kandigirl_3 Score better on tests, not all the other items on the board. That’s what’s missing from this argument. No one is getting into medical school without intelligence, absolutely no one.

@kandigirl_3 The argument is not if they can pass. If they can pass, great - there are plenty of schools that will accept them on merit. The argument is, you should not be admitted to top schools over someone who objectively scored better on everything across the board.

What is up with with idea that all these Asian students are coming from rich “privileged” backgrounds? Most these kids grow up in a house with no English - spend hours a day at their parents jobs, and frankly - a lot of times - are on their own.

@HumanByProxy @drterrysimpson No, he’s talking about what he knows and you and your kind don’t like it. That’s not his fault. Play ball on your own court.

@drterrysimpson I think it's funny when physicians talk like they're smarter than everyone else

@Ty_moneyXL @drterrysimpson Right?! I’m watching it all play out and am thinking the exact same thing 😂 like, they don’t like you. They just need more people to gang up on whoever is the target. I remember when they called COVID the China virus lol terrible

@drterrysimpson They don’t even like Asians they just hate black people.

@Ty_moneyXL @drterrysimpson BINGO

@drterrysimpson You are trying to have meaningful discussion on X is the problem. The app is mostly used by right wing racist since Elon bought it. They aren’t interested in discussion because they generally hate minorities.

@avidseries @BabyStarE8 @drterrysimpson Give data to support your “should” case.

@BabyStarE8 @drterrysimpson At the most highly selective educational institutions in the country (e.g., Harvard undergrad, Yale Law), it should be under 1%.

The irony is that many people screaming “science,” “objectivity,” and “data” throughout this Medical School admission debate seem remarkably uninterested in the actual literature on medical education, physician performance, public health outcomes, or diversity in medicine. Instead, they reduce the entire question of physician quality to standardized testing distributions while ignoring evidence that small MCAT differences among already highly capable applicants do NOT reliably predict who becomes the best clinician. And legally, much of the outrage misunderstands the 2023 Supreme Court decisions as well. Those rulings limited explicit race-based admissions preferences, but they did NOT abolish holistic admissions or require medical schools to become pure MCAT sorting machines. Schools may still evaluate leadership, adversity, service, communication, resilience, life experience, and institutional mission. A great deal has also been made of statistics claiming Black applicants are more likely to receive interviews than Asian applicants with similar MCAT ranges, as though this alone proves some grand reverse-racism conspiracy. But notice how selectively people interpret representation. At Yale, Black students comprise roughly 10% of the medical student body while Black Americans are closer to 13–14% of the U.S. population. Asian students comprise roughly 27% of the student body while representing a much smaller percentage of the overall population. One disparity is treated as obvious discrimination. The other is treated as obvious merit. That alone should make intellectually honest people pause. The people claiming to defend objective evidence seem curiously unwilling to follow that evidence once it complicates the story they emotionally prefer.

@bourboncowboy21 @kangminlee @SMU Sorry to say but they really are

@kangminlee @SMU I’ve said it a hundred times. Indians are by far the most racist demographic

This story is insane. Chinese-American professor Sean Wang is suing Southern Methodist University over Discrimination & Retaliation from Indian Professors. Indian professors at @SMU classified Dr. Wang as white in HR records to justify denying him a promotion. Dr. Hemang Desai, chair of the Accounting Department, along with other Indian faculty, granted tenure to 100% of Indian candidates, while denying tenure to 100% of non-Indian candidates. Indian faculty were also handed prime offices with nice views, while East Asian and non-Indian faculty were assigned to a lesser offices. This perfectly illustrates East Asians' white-adjacent status, the deep normalization of anti-white discrimination, and parasitic Indian nepotism.

Gym crush breakup because why isn’t he responding to my posts that he may or may not know about?! Really!
