I agree this sort of abuse occurs. I have seen it first hand many times.
I think it should also be said that racism and sexism
does exist even if it is often mislabelled or the accusation is used to hide personal short comings...
I would argue that this has little to do with AA as I have been witness to this sort of behaviour in Canada where we do not have institutionalized AA.
With regards to AA and medical school. I can agree with the idea of giving some breaks on the admissions BUT I have to say that once there if they cannot cut the muster, they should fail. Period.
If the AMA (or whatever regulatory body decides these things) has a certain level below which a student cannot become a doctor, I do not want that student to become a doctor.
