Having worked in a variety of settings, yes, this is
% true. The âbetterâ hospitals want the cash pay foreign patients over Medicaid covered Americans. There is a lot of wrong âWelfare Queenâ trope perpetuation and resentment of certain patients. https://twitter.com/nat_laboss/status/1318646826250141697

I see the exact same thing in universities. There are zero Black Americans in some programs that talk ALL the time about values & principles but SO much attention to fighting on behalf of students from other countries who pay full tuition. https://www.wbur.org/edify/2020/07/13/internation-student-ice-pandemic-lawsuit-supporting-colleges-brief
My own dad entered the U.S. as a foreign #STEM student at @USC then offered greencard via employment - one reason I consider that university a place that needs to respond to my #BlackintheIvory concerns. I will NOT be so a called complicit âmodel minorityâ used vs Black Americans
When am passionate on a topic cuz I see harm & I see I am used as a bludgeon against #BlackExcellence, I donât shut up
Universities & hospitals need to offer more than optics + hidden curriculum. Am a tuition paying #STEM b-school student & #womaninSTEM - how is my

This article describes how, after Japanese internment camps, there was research done to prove Japanese Americans deserved full citizenship protections ... that was then exploited for anti-Black agenda. (Sad that full citizenship rights are not a given.) https://publicintegrity.org/inside-publici/newsletters/the-moment/how-does-the-model-minority-myth-feed-into-racism/
This is not in the past given this now used as âprecedent.â
But what Asian Americans need to understand is all of this is built on a foundation of anti-blackness where optics (assessment of race by skin color) was used to determine citizenship rights https://time.com/4574680/muslim-registry-japanese-internment/?amp=true

We are shocked by kids in cages now, by why would we think this way of treating children has gone away? This precedent is actively cited by current day elected officials - by virtue of being elected what they say = the values and wants of voting citizens https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/books/stories-of-japanese-muslim-internment-camps-told-in-childrens-books
So it logically follows that dehumanizing by race, based on legalized anti-blackness of slavery, continues to manifest this way within #healthcare, further exacerbated by profit-driven business model prioritizing cash pay or private insurance #MedTwitter https://www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-health/black-kids-get-less-pain-medication-white-kids-er-n427056
Yes, it is unacceptable and unethical that we are horrid to, even flat out abusive, to Black and brown children in #healthcare which is seen in sickle cell care in both adult and #pediatric settings - this thread is spurred by this tweet & responses I read to it. https://twitter.com/kim_buh_lee/status/1318347092499304448
If you follow #BlackExcellence and @citeblackwomen, if you listen to #BlackTwitter and #BlackMedTwitter (instead of self promoting, metric generating, optics buffing, narrative weaving fake equity) you too would also not be able to shut up on harm (or I would hope you would care)
