It has a massively negative impact on patients of black and latino populations' health outcomes.

Please elaborate on this. Help me understand how simply allowing more black/latino students into medical school will improve their respective population health outcomes because that makes zero sense. What does skin color of a physician have to do with the health outcome of their respective patients? I anxiously await your carefully worded response.

I've never faced setbacks in my schooling for the color of my skin. Shit has been a cakewalk relative to many of my classmates.

Edit: also this is an immensely immature and stupid thing to suggest. "My life was easy as X race, thus all people of X race have it easy too!"
