At a recent congressional hearing, Representative Summer Lee made a claim that went viral: “Having all white male doctors is just as bad for the medical profession as having all white male congressmen is to our government.” Objective standards for medical competence, she argued, are merely a matter of perspective. “Objective according to who? You cannot standardized-test your way into empathy or cultural competency. MCAT scores don’t translate to better care for Black people automatically.”
Pastor John Amanchukwu plays the clip for Dr. Carol Swain — political scientist, former Princeton and Vanderbilt professor, and a scholar whose work has been cited three times by the United States Supreme Court — and asks the question underneath it: if objectivity is just a matter of perspective, is there any standard left we can trust to tell us whether a doctor is competent to treat us?
Dr. Swain takes the argument apart piece by piece. There is no all-white medical profession and no all-white Congress — “those things don’t exist.” Studies actually show worse patient outcomes in some settings dominated by less rigorously trained providers, regardless of ethnicity. And the twin pillars holding up the whole DEI framework — “cultural competency” and “unconscious bias” — collapse under scrutiny. “There’s no such thing as cultural competency, just like there’s no evidence supporting unconscious bias. If you give the same person the test twice, two days apart, you can’t get the same result. It’s not measurable. And that means it’s not science.” Her standard is the one that protects everyone: “We are all protected when we have high standards, and we apply them to people regardless of their ethnicity — and we don’t tolerate low standards from someone because they’re a member of our own group.”
She’s just as direct about the assumption buried inside the DEI argument itself — the idea that holding everyone to one high standard would produce all-white, all-male institutions. “That’s ridiculous. It’s never happened that way and it never will. Because intelligence, ingenuity, and creativity are distributed across the population. You find geniuses in every group.” And she offers her own life as living proof against the narrative progressives tried to get her to conceal: a junior high school dropout, married at 16, a mother at 17, who earned a GED and went on to five college and university degrees, graduating magna cum laude and completing her PhD in under five years. “That defies everything they believe. They wanted me to hide it. But I was always proud of where I came from.”
