that showed black 
infants had a lower mortality rate when treated by black 
doctors
I especially like this thread 
where 
they discuss the most diverse Supreme 
Court 
justice 
ever
The original study
didn't control
for birth
weight? That is literally
the strongest predictor of neonatal mortality. Incredible
that they got published.
And it got extremely widespread circulation and citation, including by a Supreme
justice. Because as shitty
as the original study
was, it supported the hot narrative at the time.
β¦ lol and you don't want to even know what the Justice
misrepresented the already wrong
finding as.
What did she say?
That for black
babies, having a black
doctor
doubles the likelihood of them living.
Holy shit. Scary
that someone with that low of an understanding of how statistics
work is in such a high position

For anyone curious to what this actually means:
Have a healthy baby -> any doctor takes care of it.
Have an unhealthy baby -> need a really good doctor to take care of it.
Most of the good doctors are white, unhealthy babies are more likely to die.

So newborns should really worry when they look up and see Jewish and Asian doctors?
