No, jfern, he's right.  In general, people are less likely to prefer black doctors because they're afraid they got in because of a quota, regardless of how valid these fears are.  It's a fairly serious problem, and it may even discourage blacks from entering the medical profession.

How many American doctors do you know anyways? Most of the general practice doctors I encounter these days are Indian.

We clearly need to fix that, because having a rainbow-colored hospital is more important than having the best quality care possible.

No we don't, I like it fine as it is.

Some people are actually less likely to "trust" a given doctor because of said doctor's skin colour? Amazing. Really amazing.

Sad isn't it? Whats the situation like across the pond?

They're all (well mostly) white up here.

Same here. I've never had an Indian doctor.

Florida probably pays doctors higher thats what entices them to come here and the climate is probably closer to Indias? (Huh)

My Dr. is a Jew (race, not religion), but a lot are either Arab or Jewish--a LOT of Dr.s in Dearborn (where my Dr. is).

Jewish isn't a race.
