From Steve Sailer’s blog:

Obviously, there’s a lot of affirmative action in the med school racket: the acceptance rate (43%) for Mexican-Americans is virtually the same as for non-Hispanic Whites (44%) even though Mexican Americans average around the 26th percentile of the white distribution in MCATs and college GPA. And 36% of blacks get accepted compared to 44% of whites even though blacks scores and grades are down around the 17th percentile of the white distribution.
In fact, the AAMC posts offical grids showing how much easier it is to get into medical school for Non-Asian Minorities (NAMs) than for overall applicants. For example, 32.4% of “self-identified” NAMs get accepted to medical school with 3.00 to 3.19 GPAs and MCATs of 21-23, while only 13.4% of overall applicants get in with the same credentials. For applicants with 3.40 to 3.59 GPAs and 24-26 on the MCAT, 67.1 of NAMs get in versus 27.5% of the overall applicants (and somewhat less for Whites/Asians, of course).
In summary, it’s probably a good idea to get a second opinion.
Tom, I read your header and found it disturbing, followed your link over to Sailer’s, read that and found it even more disturbing.
Then I thought, “Well, why be disturbed about the medical situation anymore than all the other areas of life the equality-worshiping utopian multiculturalists are determined to force upon the Western democracies?”
The evidence is mounting that the liberals are willing to see a large number of Westerners be seriously hurt and even die, in order to push and shove their equalitarian multiculturalistic doctrines forward into quota-achieved reality. (And in many areas, compare Europe and the Muslims. Same principle.)
If one is the right color but has an IQ of only 85 the liberals will see to it that they get a chance to do open heart surgery on the Western populations (but not on THEM..the liberals will do in this area what they do on the public school issue; send their children to expensive private schools.) The equality-worshiping liberals will find ($$$) the highly qualified brainy doctors to operate on THEM and THEIR family as they sermonize to the rest of us about “social equality” and “morality” and “human rights.”
Compare women “soldiers” throughout the U.S.Military, with lowered physical requirements so the equality-worshiping liberals can achieve their gender quotas at the expense of national security. (As America will find out if we ever again have a REAL war like WW II.)
Liberalism is, beyond any doubt, a pathlogy.
