Seva, I'm going to assume you're not a medical doctor. You'll correct me if I'm wrong.

It was you who claimed to believe that medical schools had been dumbed down, and you seem to claim to think the reason is that unqualified students are admitted. I have no idea from where you get this idea, but I will tell you that you are wrong.

I never said black students were smarter than Caucasian ones.

I don't know what kind of name Seva is, but it doesn't sound Americanized. If your recent heritage is not American (note that you have misspelled America), and if you think the United States is a "rotting farce of a country," you should give serious consideration to moving. There is probably some country that will feel more adaptive to you.

I told you I don't know of anyone who knows what "Woke" means, and you continue to use this invented word without explaining it. Please correct.

I'm sorry you're tired of hearing about systemic racism, but the fact that the mention of it is tiresome to you does not mean it is a vibrant and destructive force in this country.

It is entirely possible that "white devils like [you]" are a powerful contributing force to black social dysfunction, but even if you think you personally don't bear responsibility, you would be problematically myopic if you thought there wasn't systemic racism in this country.

Oh, so you have a Mexican work colleague and friend from a very poor and dangerous section, and this person is your friend, but you oppose immigration. Did you tell your friend to go back home to Mexico? If you had, you do understand that Trump would have agreed wholeheartedly. Your friend would have been scratching his head wondering how the person he supported would have deported him.

And you told your friend that "the inability to transition to a new government after an election is a classic sign of a failed state." Have you and your friend considered who mounted an insurrection to prevent just such a transfer?

“It was you who claimed to believe that medical schools had been dumbed down,”

I posted an excerpt from a RCP article along with an excerpt that said that. How did you miss it?

Oh, so you're just spewing other people's unsupported opinions. Not of interest.
