Somaditya Bandyopadhyay Evelyn Mensah - Friends call me Evie Can you give me an example of what you believe would be another factor? Thereโ€™s certainly harmful stereotypes I can think people might suggest

Language is important, which is why you should be aware the term โ€œrace cardโ€ is designed to belittle and silence those raising racism

Somaditya Bandyopadhyay Evelyn Mensah - Friends call me Evie They will all have forms of bias. Itโ€™s not a judgement on them, but on society. Social sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, ableism and more will build into them biases that they should be aware of actively countering

โ€œMove onโ€ or ignore uncomfortable evidence?

Somaditya Bandyopadhyay Evelyn Mensah - Friends call me Evie Stepping to the side of the topic under discussion please be aware that anti-Black racism is perpetuated by other people of colour, and anti-Blackness in South Asian people does absolutely exist

Having โ€˜colouredโ€™ people โ‰  no possibility of racism

Evelyn Mensah - Friends call me Evie They demonstrate why systemic change is so challenging. We don't like discomfort, so will choose to protect ourselves from the reality of the data by dismissing / denying / diminishing. The motivation to change needs to exceed the discomfort - hence why we need community...

My favourite tweet stated that we should โ€œstop arguing with people who didnโ€™t do the readingโ€โ€ฆ.I really must remember this important lesson when discussing matters of systemic racism & anti-Blackness

Somaditya Bandyopadhyay Evelyn Mensah - Friends call me Evie The excellent Ms Mensah is racism in a system, not an individual doctor. If you think its not the role of WRES to highlight clear examples of systematic racism then what do you think their role should be? What language would you find more palatable for your sensibilities?

Evelyn Mensah - Friends call me Evie Why is the statistics the most significant part of this tweet?
How many times will ppl have to contort their experiences into numbers & research & evidence until they r seen/ heard ?
More importantly why does the burden of proof lie upon them?

โ€œIs it statistically significantโ€ that Black doctors having an unsatisfactory ARCP is double that of their white counterparts & more than other ethnic groups. Is that your questionโ‰๏ธโ‰๏ธ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿฅด
