Racial Preferences in the Democrats' Health Care Bill

The decades-old policies of government-mandated racial quotas and "race/gender-norming," not only in college admissions, but in hiring practices in the private sector, have backfired by unintended consequence:
Whenever circumstances lead me to seek medical attention, legal counsel, or other services where high quality is critical, I overtly reject such services from non-whites and non-males. I am forced to insist on a white male, diplomatically explaining that I cannot take the chance that a non-white-male provider may have gained their credentials via a lowered standard, rather than academic acheivement or demonstrated exceptional ability.

I recall a case some years back in California that gained national attention, when a man did exactly what I describe. He refused to accept medical treatment from a non-white. I don't remember the outcome.

The unfortunate fact is that due to government meddling in such things, I can no longer trust any minority to provide me with critical services. So, even the ones who are really good at what they do must remain suspect in my eyes. I cannot afford to take chances with my life, or my loved ones' just to remain PC.

For anyone challenging my stance on this subject, let me ask you a question: If your son or daughter had an accident, requiring delicate neurosurgery to save his/her life, would you want a doctor who got his license because he was good with a scalpel, or just because his skin was the right shade of brown? So, the sad truth is, because of gender- and race-norming, the only way I can be certain that my doctor is competent is to make sure he is a white male. As such, I know he didn't get to, and through, medical school as a result of a "program" or any lowered standard. Don't blame me, the government made me a "racist."
