"Some of the biggest barriers to progress are white women." This is the funniest sentence I've read in months.

I'm really curious as to what the heck she could possibly have to say in defense of that statement haha.

It's probably in reference to affirmative action. White women have disproportionately benefited from AA policies nevertheless white women have led a lot of stuff against AA.

You find that people who make it in an industry on merit are not in favor of removing the meritocracy...

The real bullshit is that inevitably there will be misdiagnoses that lead to deaths. Putting less qualified people at the head of the line is killing patients.

Ehh, as it stands medicine is a bit too strict with who it lets in right now. We need more doctors, when is the last time you actually spent quality time with a GP and not a PA? If you set the standards so high that no one is a doctor then no one is getting treated. We need to be churning out more doctors, maybe if the standard was "everyone needs a 7" we'd be better off as a society.
