So many comments that can be made, but the one that jumps to mind for me is: Thank God, they can’t pin this one on Southerners this time.
I’ve heard Hillary will only use White Doctors and Nurses.
What amazed me about this story was that she actually thought she could find a white doctor in Canada, especially the Toronto area. I’m kidding, but only half.
All I ask is that English be their first language. I don’t care what race they are.
If a non-White had asked for only a non-White doctor he would be stupid, but then given a job at a prominent university.
Are we supposed to get upset about this or something?
trying to speak with people that do not have full grasp of your language in YOUR country is infuriating..
Why doesn’t this woman have just as much right as any to see a medical practitioner that is sensitive to her cultural values?
Whoa, a woman said something rude? Stop the presses, whoot whoot!
Compare that to the REAL serious racism of the Trinity Professor who said white people should die.

Guess which story got seized on by over 100 media outlets and which got the attention of only 10?
There are plenty of American qualified candidates who may have missed admission by 0.1 GPA points. But to keep profits high, admissions are intentionally limited. There is no free market for medical schools.
This artificial "shortage" lets foreigners slip through the immigration cracks.
[Yes, this story is about Canada, but it applies to the USA too. ]
The majority of the canucks outside of Ontario, Quebec, and Vancouver really do not like their government leaders.
My GP is a Syrian woman, but she speaks English as well as I do and doesn’t have brown teeth.
Gee whiz, Canadians must be real racists and misogynists!
I thought their twinkletoes PM waved his magic wand and made everything good up there.
LOL!
The belly-laughs of modern day living...good grief!
Probably a “plant” but other than that...so?
What if the mother had said that as a parent to a homosexual five year old, she only wanted a homosexual doctor to see her child ?
In Canada’s socialized medicine every doctor is a defacto government employee. The government will try to get the cheapest doctors not the best, so they bring them in from third world countries.
In the US things aren’t much better. Being a doctor is not what it used to be - the pay is gone and so is the status (unless you do face lifts) and you’re under total control of the government or insurance companies. So the smart whites are “operating” in finance where the real money is.
In the mid 80s my company gave cheaper health insurance employee share, if you went with a “HMO” for “health maintenance organization.
So I did. Still in my 30s, and had not had many health issues. But I had recently taken up long distance running, and had already experienced a “stress fracture,” which was diagnosed and treated by Sports Medicine-Podiatrist.
Anyway another similar injury seemed to be taking place, so I went to my HMO this time, since I had such coverage.
The MD was a black lady. I told her the new injury, and she told me to use crutches. The Podiatrist had never gone as far as crutches.
I lost confidence in the MD, and my impression was not very good.
Fast forward 30+ years, and I would be skeptical, fearing “affirmative action,” not top skills and knowledge.
I got the same reaction when I once showed up for a dental emergency and demanded a man doctor, not some broad without upper-body strength!
Give me a Chinese doctor over a white AMA drone any day of the week.
Chinese doctor understands the body and will listen to what you tell them.
White AMA drones are good mechanics, but in general don’t know sh*t about why disease occurs, much less about how to cure it.
What she wants is a Dr that is actually qualified and didnt get his MD by affirmative action.
