Minority admissions is horrendous at the University of Washington. Out of ~153 medical student admissions 2 are AfAm., 3 Hispanic and zero Native Americans--which is really piss poor for the state of Washington. I know that for a fact because I work here. More than 47% are of Asian decent with 3% Asian faculty--that is insane given the HUGE Asian population is Seattle alone.

Within 5-10 years without Affirmative Action, California, Texas and Washington have had the largest increases in health disparities in all people of color: increased health deaths usually caused by myocardial infarction, ischemic cerebrovascular disease and type 2 diabetic complications. Asian women are the most at risk for having stage 3 breast cancer compared to other women. African American women die due to stage 3 breast cancer and metastasis. And Native American, as well as Hawaiian Pacific Islander women have be systematically avoided in these stats.

Apparently, people of color who become medical doctors go back to their communities and perform acts of service within their communities.

Most African Americans at University of Washington are there because of atheletic scholarship. Certain Asian Americans, (Pacific Islanders are strongly hurt without support), either pool their money to send their children or have enough money to send. Latinos are coming from other states/countries. And now some Eastern European students are beginning to feel the pinch.

We should have had a weaning period than cold turkey... Folks are literally dying out there...

And you all the think I am full of isht if you want. I really don't care. I know what I do for a living.
