A worry which I would have based on far less selective schools in the 1990s is that the Black kids will congregate in majors like sociology and education (even Janine Teagues on "Abbott Elementary" is portrayed as a Penn graduate and appears proud of it) and the Black kid who is supposed to represent diversity is simply not in the classroom for a significant portion of the students. Another related worry is that the Times promptly stated after the SFFA decision that there are not enough Black doctors as it is. Are these very elite schools really the institutions that are turning out Black doctors and other professionals that would be helpful to the Black community as a whole?
I am more or less quoting the NYT but there seem to be studies that being treated by a Black doctor has concrete positive health outcomes for Black patients. I can certainly say "Black people don't have enough access to doctors where they will get respectful treatment" including Black people who live in places where any hospital is far away

"Enough black doctors"? As if there is some number there "should" be? How about there aren't enough good doctors?
