@TheBrancaShow The question is why aren't the whites or Asians entitled to the same percentages in Hollywood, welfare recipients, NBA players, or Olympians ? Let's do dei consistently. We fat people's NBA dreams matter as well:(

Asians can stay in their own native homelands and they won’t have this problem at all. Your children aren’t better because they are book smart but often have severe personality conflicts. The U.S Indian DOJ is targeting 44 Black students at Yale is moronic actually.
Yiatin Chu@ycinnewyork

The same has been felt by Asians when applying to selective colleges for decades. We knew our children had to accomplish way above others to earn the limited spots Ivy+ were willing to give us. The SFFA v Harvard case revealed the extent of the discrimination. Even with SCOTUS ruling that affirmative action is unconstitutional, medical schools like UCLA and Yale continue to evade. Thank goodness @CivilRights @AAGDhillon are pursuing them to comply.

@ProfDBernstein Absolutely right. They are denying upward mobility to poor whites and Asians. They are the racists here.

1. No one says admissions should be based solely on test scores. 2. It's perfectly lawful to "discriminate" based on socio-economic status; if Yale Med or anyone else wants to give a "plus" based on socio-economic background, they can. 3. They don't rely on this because they aren't trying to control for socioeconomic background, they are trying to control for race. As a rule, at elite schools, the bulk of URMs admitted are from the same upper-middle class households that other students come from.
Dr Terry Simpson@drterrysimpson

I have a 15-year-old son. He is a freshman at one of the many STEM schools in California. He tests well, has strong grades, and someday he will be one of thousands of applicants who look very similar on paper. He wants to go to @UChicago like his dad, which would make me proud. But how will admissions officers differentiate him from the thousands of other kids with excellent scores, AP classes, polished resumes, and test prep? Yes, he has unique interests. He works with coral reefs, scuba dives, loves theater, and builds community naturally wherever he goes. But what truly differentiates him is not a number. It is his empathy. His kindness. His curiosity. His ability to bring people together. His instinct to lead by inclusion rather than domination. We are fortunate. We can afford tutors, prep courses, enrichment programs, whatever he may need. But an exam score will never fully capture who he is as a human being. And that is precisely why reducing admissions — whether college or medical school — to standardized testing alone fundamentally misses the point. At some stage, somebody has to actually see the person.

@JohnAnthonyMD So essentially should we have racist policies to support racist patients? If the answer is yes, we should lower the number of black players in the NBA. We should allow white or Asian only clubs... And we should allow slavery because some slaves may prefer it over freedom. Bad.

This whole DEI conversation has devolved. Facts: 1. Black applicants are getting in over more qualified white and Asian applicants, a lot. 2. Many patients would prefer to have a doc of their color So the debate should be, is fairness more important than patient preference?

Dr Terry Simpson@drterrysimpson·
Calling me a “morally degenerate racist” while repeatedly describing Black medical students as inherently “less qualified” based largely on standardized testing distributions is a level of projection almost admirable in its lack of self-awareness. You have spent this entire discussion reducing human potential, physician quality, and professional worth to numerical sorting while dismissing mountains of evidence about what actually predicts trust, communication, underserved care, and clinical excellence. And the truly revealing part is how emotionally invested you are in the idea that existing hierarchies must reflect natural superiority, rather than history, privilege, access, opportunity, and institutional design. Mirrors can be unpleasant things. Especially when someone has spent years mistaking prejudice for objectivity.
Andrew Branca Show@TheBrancaShow

The Asian families are naturally unhappy that their more qualified Asian children are being passed over in favor of less qualified black people, solely because the black people are black and the Asians are not, thanks to morally degenerate racists like you.

@CoreyWriting Very ways to test if the dr. Believes in his own words: if the dr. Commit to allowing only those who score on the bottom 10 percent of the MCAT to see him and his family members.

I disagree. In medicine, raw scores are very predictive. Low scorers perform worse in residency. However, the typical black Yale med student still did very well and averaged 518. Even without preferences, they met the MCAT averages of schools like UCLA or UCSF.
Jae Williams@thejaewilliams

The Yale medical school discourse is interesting because MCAT & GPA are only part of a med school application. Raw numbers don’t show who will be a better physician. We see this in sports all the time, a QB having more passing yards doesn’t mean they’re the better quarterback.

The average American reads at a 7th- to 8th-grade level. A bunch of them are in the comments arguing with this doctor.
Dr Terry Simpson@drterrysimpson

I disagree with the Department of Justice going after Yale School of Medicine over DEI admissions policies and arguing that objective metrics like GPA and MCAT scores should dominate admissions decisions. The evidence does not support the idea that standardized test scores alone identify the best physicians. The MCAT predicts performance on other multiple-choice exams reasonably well. What MCAT scores do NOT predict are clinical judgment, communication, bedside skill, or physician performance. Put another way: doctors who test well tend to do well on examinations. But test scores do not predict how well they care for patients in clinics, hospitals, surgery, or real-world medicine. Meanwhile, more diverse physician workforces are associated with better preventive care, greater trust, improved access, and lower mortality in underserved communities. There is no objective evidence that excluding minority applicants within a reasonable score range improves patient outcomes. We need minority physicians in this country, and we have the data to prove why. So when people insist that “objective measures” alone should determine admission into medicine — while ignoring the evidence about what actually improves patient care — I increasingly see that argument as less about merit and more about preserving exclusion under the comforting language of statistics. "Equality feels like oppression to those who are privileged"

The Black students at Yale are in fact some of the highest achievers in the country. Their scores are in the 95th percentile! Past the 90th percentile they are equally qualified and brilliant.

@fuqekgs I prefer high grades and test scores and amazingly enough, one can find diversity even among the highest achievers.

@thejaewilliams 2. So we taxpayers have to find racist practices? No. So Yale has two choices: 1. Refuse public funding and do whatever it wants. Or 2. Accept public funding and stop being a racist. It is that simple.

Finally, Ukraine has successfully bombed Moscow including its oil refinery. More is to follow. Fortunately, the US has withdrawn so it can no longer restrict Ukraine's defensive war against Russia. No more US-granted sanctuary in Russia!
Anton Gerashchenko@Gerashchenko_en

Moscow and Moscow region will remain under Ukrainian strikes until Putin signs a capitulation. Today the largest Ukrainian attack on Moscow and the Moscow region since the beginning of the war took place. Russian military infrastructure and oil facilities that generate money for Russia’s war machine were under attack. Social media is now full of videos from residents of the Moscow region complaining that they “never thought the war would reach them.” According to opinion polls, 75% of Moscow residents support the actions of Russian troops in Ukraine. They also support continuing the war rather than starting negotiations. These figures are roughly twice as high as the Russian national average. Residents of Moscow participate the least in the war, suffer the fewest casualties, and the Russian authorities do everything possible to ensure that life in Moscow and Saint Petersburg remains almost unchanged from pre-war times. As long as it did not directly affect them, Muscovites either supported the war or pretended it had nothing to do with them. Moscow is the center of the empire. Russia has always been deeply polarized: Moscow treats many of its own territories and peoples as colonies. Strikes on other Russian regions barely concerned the Russian authorities. For Russia and its regime, Moscow is the political, financial, ideological, and symbolic center that embodies the full concentration of power. Moscow is the main imperial symbol dominating vast regions - Putin’s personal fortress, from which the neo-imperial state is controlled and the war is directed. That is why Putin was so afraid of Ukrainian drones during the parade. Ukraine has now developed - and continues to develop - our long-range strike capabilities against Russia. And we will act symmetrically. Moscow’s air defense systems can no longer fully protect Russian military and oil facilities. Russia’s war against Ukraine is now also being fought on Russian territory. Leave Ukrainian territory, pay reparations, and it will all end!

They don't. They make decisions not based on race, but from a pool of applicants who are highly qualified. The bar is a test score, MCAT and GPA - then we interview, read the letters of recommendation, and make decisions from there. "Yale" is the name of the medical school, it is not making a decision - but a group of physicians who train medical students, physicians, post docs, and colleagues - those who know what makes a great doctor, and Yale wants great doctors - they make the decision.
Lauren Chen@TheLaurenChen

Asian people are being systematically discriminated against in favor of black people. Why does Yale Medical School think people prefer black doctors instead of qualified doctors?
