Major Medical School Claims Timeliness, Individualism, And Professionalism Are Part Of White Supremacy

Imagine a medical school that believes being on time, acting professionally, and displaying individualism is a display of white supremacy. Duke Medical School claims it is "White supremacy culture" to expect people of color to be on time in a strategic plan for creating an "Anti-Racist Workforce."

The medical school states its goal is to "catalyze anti-racist practice through education.” In a 2021 plan titled "Dismantling Racism and Advancing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the School of Medicine," the guide, which was praised by the school's dean, called out what it deemed "White supremacy culture," with its cherry-picking of being on time, dress code, speech, and work style. It also contains a series of negative terminology concerning white culture.
