[Vent] What's the worst thing you've seen on #MedTwitter?

dawg this is the stupidest crap i've ever heard. the test can be racist and sexist because it inherently favors those or higher SES strata which often tend to me white men. it's like saying "the IQ test isn't racist isn't ab objective logical based exam". like do i need to link you to years of data showing you how the IQ exam was severely biased against minorities and women and worded questions in ways that made it difficult for people from lower SES strata to understand.

don't come out here and say "objective fact-based exam" and then ignore the background that goes into taking the exam. Yeah it's fact based, but those highly sought after and expensive resources available to people for those who do well on the exam are overwhelmingly procured by those in higher SES which are overwhelmingly white men.

but no you just saw one sentence and ran with it instead of taking the time to dig deeper tho. like dude you're in med school, use your critical thinking skills instead of saying dumb garbage like this.
