Does how the student has to pay for medical school come into play? Even more salient, is the cost of applications skewing the result that your author is using to show some sort of racial bias? The application cost is often waived based on financial need bases. Many schools give cost preference to students who agree to do things like stay in the region for 5 years after finishing working as primary care physicians. I know a kid who is in residency after going to Grenada for med school strictly on a cost basis. Medicare will help pay your med school but you have to agree to see Medicare patients. How a student will pay for school has great bearing on where they apply.

No matter how you look at it, acceptance is not indicative of the race of new doctors graduating. Of the 18,705 new med school grads last year, 1,061 were black, 854 were Hispanic, 3,701 were Asian and the overwhelming majority were white at 10,992.

I wonder what the agenda of the author was using a statistic that has no bearing on outcome and using it to show a racial bias that has no bearing on the actual outcomes. What was your agenda for posting this meaningless data?

Of course it does. After acceptance.

Yes. It is skewed to show those that paid the application cost. LOL

Chump change compared to tuition......wait for it....if you're accepted.

If you're accepted.

Is he asian or white?

Just another way for taxpayers to pay for the tuitions of med students. Can you guess which ones?

According to your previous sentence, who will pay for school has great bearing on where they apply.

So you believe in reverse discrimination? Lets apply that same reasoning to Professional Football, Basketball, and Baseball.

To point out discrimination against whites and asians.
 
I am talking about graduation rates. That is what I linked to. A recap by Kaiser titled:

Distribution of Medical School Graduates by Race/Ethnicity
Never mind. You posted number of graduates. The rates are in your link and they do not eliminate the fact that you advocate reverse discrimination simply because the grad rate for whites is 54%, and 10% for asians, 21% for blacks.

Sorry 58, 19.8, 5.7 respectively.
 
I know. Why did you post that non relevant statistical garbage in the first place? Using stats to try to show something that is not real.
They are relevant to those not being accepted because of their ethnicity. Not relevant to those that are being accepted because of their ethnicity.

Nothing in the stats you posted show that whites or Asians are being displaced by less qualified applicants of color.
 
It's his daily duty to AEI.

No, I don't know why he feels he has a daily duty to AEI.
The assumption the writer wants to make and get folks like Izzy to regurgitate this lie hiding in nonsense.

You have to be a fool and stupid or a lying bag of crap to make some sort of reverse discrimination case from that statistic.
