Which make ethnic employees look like tokens (rather racist, isn't it?) and reduces my trust in them, unfortunately.
The ethnic employer think is more like political correctness and positive discrimination, its hardly bias.
The beauty of irrationality is that you can change it, considering that many of those who become doctors arent white i would suggest you can change your view that 'white doctors are more qualified and safer'. If it takes as little as a silly news article and your own judgement cant see past it then im afraid i cannot help you.
The only doctor I've ever had a problem with was one that struggled with English. I think he was Dutch or German and we couldn't understand each other.
No, the exact opposite, pakistani and inidian doctors are more genuine.
I can never tell if white doctors really care about their patients.
I totally disagree. I've had non-Jewish white drs and dentists etc who have been so kind if not too kind but still kind, especially the younger women. The younger men are professionally chatty, and the older ones are stern but cool
Never ever had a warm Muslim dr even their hands have been cold, I rem one especially.
However I don't go to hospital for spa service lol but still I had one Indian dr dunno if he's Muslim or not but he had to give me injections and while my mam praises him for his efficiency he just practically doused me with skin alcohol, stabbed me in the arm, slapped a plaster on me, and pushed me out the bloody room, no hi no bye roflll

anecdotal fallacy mate, im sure there are many who disagree
He's always hanging out in News and Current Affairs. Always trolling, sometimes he posts right wing stuff, sometimes left wing stuff, just to stir up a ****storm. Thankfully, we've enclosed all the fascists in the NaCA forum, and they only rarely come out into the wider TSR
Yes, but if you narrow the pool from which you employ people, you will probably get less good people overall. Do you want exceptional employees or merely good employees? Any discrimination is bad for a meritocracy.
You don't seem to understand that one of the problems facing the NHS right now is a shortage of capable doctors to deal with patients. Any employee that is qualified to do the job is a good employee; 'exceptional' or otherwise. There is no discrimination taking place in terms of trained medical staff.

Of course there are ppl who will disagree and I'm sure there are people who will agree. Not that I'm posting worrying about either though. It's not a "fallacy" either since I've experienced it while fallacy means an untrue belief... And anecdotal means I've experienced so you just contradicted yaself Stop using words too big for you.

I sincerely apologise sir, for my senseless comment. I have never seen you swear, so please calm down, I am sorry to have pissed you off.....
A doctor is a doctor. it is not the skin colour that should determine their capabilities as a doctor. Rather it is their performance in how they carry out their role as a doctor itself.
why would one feel safer with a white doctor than others?
Racism in healthcare is definitely still a thing. I'm white and British with a slightly unusual surname. A patient once heard my surname after a college said 'Nurse X will be treating you' and the patient loudly declared that they did not want a Pakistani nurse anywhere near them.

and @Multiculturalism It's just op winding people up obviously lol but of course skin colour can't determine ability but for me I find white female drs to be the most comforting

That kind of racism is completely ok and before you get bothered let me explain lol as long as it's not preventing someone from living their life and if it's not harming them I don't see the harm in personal opinion like
Honestly, with all the 'equality' nonsense, I'd be more comfortable with those who I am sure have earned their place
While a drive for ethnic diversity does exist in some career options like the police force, I am unaware of such positive discrimination taking place in medicine due to the large numbers of bright young Indians choosing to qualify as doctors. However, there is a huge amount of research showing that those with White European names are far more likely to be called for interview following job applications in a variety of fields, even when qualifications and other relevant factors are equal. This suggests that if anything, it is Whites who are likely to have not earned their place and sneaked in with a mediocre track record, not us Indians.
EDIT: I am not complaining, by the way. While it is certainly not ideal, I realise that this discrimination is to be expected when I choose to live in a country where I am an ethnic minority. I am just pointing out that your lack of trust is misplaced.
