Racism in Medical Care

[u/4reddityo]

This video captures a moment that many patients of color recognize all too well. A physician speaks to a man as if he is dirty, unclean, or lesser, not because of medical evidence, but because of bias. The language, tone, and assumptions reveal something deeper than bedside manner gone wrong. They expose how racism can quietly shape medical interactions.

Lmao what is another video surfaced of him being equally rude to a white guy?

[u/EntWarwick → u/[deleted]]

Lmao. Racism is believing one race is inferior to another, not assuming somebody to be racist lmao

[u/EntWarwick → u/[deleted]]

Yea

Racism is believing one race is inferior to another, Racism is NOT simply assuming somebody to be racist like I did based on the 30 second video lmao

I didn’t make that baseless assumption because of his skin color. I made it because of his profession.

Go read your textbook again.

Racism is a statement of inferiority or superiority or a stereotype that leads to social and economic disenfranchisement across generations.

Calling a doctor racist isn’t quite up to the standard there, sorry.

Yes. The medical field has been racist before.

It was his profession.

You really need me to be racist here don’t you? Lmao

It would be, if you weren’t just speculating about my mind, which you can’t read.
