This article says there’s a racist aspect to brushing your teeth before you go to the dentist. I disagree. I always brush my teeth before I go to the dentist, but it has nothing to do with racism. Why do some people insist on seeing racism everywhere?

This article from the Grio starts out with the following:
Black patients modify speech, dress up to reduce medical bias, survey shows
Black Californians report adjusting their appearance, changing behavior, minimizing questions and signaling to providers that they are educated to reduce chance of discrimination in hospitals and doctors’ offices.
A young mother in California’s Antelope Valley bathes her children and dresses them in neat clothes, making sure they look their very best — at medical appointments. “I brush their teeth before they see the dentist. Just little things like that to protect myself from being treated unfairly,” she told researchers.
I always brush my teeth, take a shower, and put on clean clothes before I go to the dentist, or any other medical appointment.
I don’t see what race has to do with it.
Why do some people insist on seeing racism everywhere?

It has become a contest to see who can come up with a new assertion.
It’s goofy.

Don’t most people brush their teeth before going to the dentist? Don’t most people bathe or shower before a medical exam? Don’t most people want to sound intelligent and informed when dealing with medical professionals?

Going to a state college, I also found out that it’s “racisss” to:
- Be on time for class
- Do your assignments as required
- Get decent grades
- Use proper English to communicate
- Have your textbooks purchased and in your possession by the 2nd day of class
- Be white

There's a reason we called it a tooth brush instead of a teeth brush where I lived in Alabama . . . . .

That is totally someone trying to get their 15 minutes of “fame”. My mother always gave us a bath, made us scrub our teeth and dressed us nicely when we went to any doctor, be it the family doctor or the dentist. I do so today and I think most people do. Why is this racist? My mom had six kids, was single because my dad died and we live in the projects. Oh and yeah...we are white.
