I found this article by Peggy McIntosh to be very difficult to fully accept. Some of the points made were valid but she failed to state the measures made by people to make up for the past misfortunes of non-white people. Also civilization is an evolving entity, in order to ensure the majority of the population is happy. What was once believed to be fair in the past has changed over time as people have come to realize that equality between all different races.
In my experience now I find over-representation in minority groups. This is everywhere in the media. If you turn on the TV or open a magazine I can almost guarantee that there will be far more minority representation than is required to determine the proportion of the population they make up.
Anyway if racism was a prominent part of health care it would have a drastic impact on the ability for minorities to receive treatment. There would be more studies that abused the underprivileged and uneducated individuals of the world.
