Thank you. This trend is highly concerning and often very far from based in principles of biology, let alone medicine. Rather than addressing racism, it paradoxically further embeds it, despite the ponderous literature (much before 2020...) pointing out how "race" is a socially constructed fiction. Looking at someone, guessing their "race", and making a social-justice inflected decision about how to partition care is misguided on so many levels. A truly advanced practice of medicine would be more informed by eg rapid genomic sequencing (precision medicine) in combination with family history rather than how curly someone's hair is, or the precise color of their skin.
Anyone wishing to stick a wrench in the works of woke ideology can do so by championing the cause of trans-racialism. Stand back and watch the fireworks!
