I made top mcat scores and the white students questioned it. So back in 1984 post Bakke I accidentally dropped my 90 percentile score in the cafeteria. No more doubt
When I was in HS during the 1990s, my mentor recalled scoring 1520 on his SAT's. Administration believed he cheated, and forced him to retake it under supervision. He scored 1560.
Sometimes you gotta pop out show people.

@@IlltechnicaI mean is it mental illness? How can any thinking person believe that a person's skin colour means they are less smart riddle me that. 😩
You performed and you were chosen and that's a fair way to get selected not based on racial biases . India had similar DEI concept but people who come through DEI could not handle academic pressures and drop out
The sad part is both college and students were losers as students lost what ever the confidence they had
I remember this story when it dropped many years ago. Basically, this guy was parading all over conservative news stations about how black students with lower academic stats were getting spots that rightfully belonged to their Asian and Caucasian counterparts. Fair point to argue but this guy was full of it. He bragged about having an average undergrad science GPA (3.2-3.4) and average MCAT but gained entry because he pretended to be black. What he was very quiet about is the fact that after he successfully gained entry he then flunked out of med school. He did not drop out because of some righteous high ground. He outright failed because he was not able to handle the medical school load.
This was counterintuitive to the sob story he was giving to every news station that was willing to hear him out. He tried to connect that black students from lower socioeconomic status's that were getting boosted by affirmative action were somehow not qualified for the med school positions they obtained. However, what studies have shown is that most students who have benefited from AA in terms of medical school (in addition to Law school) acceptances have gone to complete their degrees and were successfully practicing in their fields.
So this guy essentially proved that med school administrator's discrete selection of some students from lower SES's was in fact juste because when this fraud disguised his profile to mimic these students he could not succeed. He was not from a lower SES. He was brought up very wealthy with every academic recourse at his fingertips but still turned out mediocre. He basically had no excuse for his lack of academic achievements.
Essentially, had this quacks deception played out resulting in him graduating medical school and becoming a practicing doctor, we would not know his face.
@@fleckcadeau2382 so, he got in with average stats, then dropped out. Got it
Wow thats a really good point!
The fact that he was incompetent yet still got into med school shows his idea of a racial bias for less qualified students no?
@@holyknight9507 Nope bc the blacks who get in with the same mediocre stats don’t flunk out
@@emiliomartineziii2980yeah but the White and Asian students with excellent scores that were deprived of entry would also have made it through successfully. If they were let in. How does the success of the average black students justify the white and Asian students being unjustly robbed of their places?

What a coincidence. She's pretending to be black, too!
This whole situation is weird.
Hopefully they will revoke his medical license if he has one.
@@MeePro100 fraud.
Another commenter said he flunked out.
I love how Doctor Webb can make fun of things 😂. It’s called Humor…
What the Indian did was dangerous anti-black racism! Nothing funny about it!
Good to see you are not hiding from this subject
I literally can't believe what this guy did!!!
Contrary to what many people say. This video is a great point to bring up. Racism and suppression of minorities have played a role in decreasing the life outcomes of these minorities. It is important to point out that by focusing on criteria like GPA and MCAT scores solely, we do not do justice to the admission process. There are other factors that determine outcome of medical students. Dr. Webb is right to point out this video. It shows clearly that there is a lot in America that is still not understood about race. Lower scores are not an indication of worse intellects; they are a reflection of privilege and class opportunités that have perpetuated in America since its foundations. This imposter’s actions should not in anyway hinder the hardworking millions of Black students who are chasing their life dreams.
I agree. We shouldn't judge them on how competent they are. We should be judging them on how competent they could be if we forced society to bend over backwards for them and put their lives on easy mode. Duh.
@@FutureDeadGuy007The point flew right over your head 😂
"they are a reflection of privilege and class opportunités" -- That's a good argument for wealth-based affirmative action, which is still allowed. Otherwise, we're just pretending that poor White and Asian students don't exist.

the only black Jojo I know has a brother names KC
Ahhhhhhh😂😂😂😂
My black neighbor was KC. Sadly, he passed away recently.
Nice

"But for neeow, your blk card is revoked" ...... said no blk person ever lmfaoooooooo
I pretty sure Dave Chapelle will disagree with this notion.
@@appollo1826 Cool story until you know Dave grew up in white suburbs aaaahahaha. Just stop...... yall look and sound like clowns. Just be you buddy. Gonna be ok, even if you're not gangsta hahaha. Funniest part about this you most of you dont even get whats happening in the video. Its proof America is racist towards anyone thats not black. Anyway, gotta go
What about the ethical issues around his actions.
The only JoJo i know is my homie Jose, and he was mexican 😂😂😂⚰️ this is nuts! 🤦🏾♂️
Man, this dude is ruining it for the people who are actually underserved.
Affirmative action is mostly illegal now anyway. I think everybody should be evaluated the same way. That being said, I don’t think these rich kids should get in just because daddy was an alumni or a donor. Remove all nepotism and replace it with merit based selection processes
The problem with merit based it would be the old system again. You don't remove rich kids because rich kids have parents and the resources that supply the schools for the future. Most people are average and average can't get into Medical School without above money or time. Poorer kids with high merits will not be able to compete because they will have to work harder to get the same or grades. A merit base school is only useful to keep poorer kids with less resources out. This is the reason we have the inequality in the industry today. Premed students needs an understanding in economy 101 and so they look at these industry as a whole not just their closed minded bubble. We have so many useless class to get to medical and yet people don't understand the basic of the financial state.
@@appollo1826 That's fine invest at the high school level not having different requirements for different races that is plain wrong.
Asian students are now complaining because they are being rejected in favor of white students. Turns out that Black students was never the problem; it was white students who couldn't compete with Asians and needed a leg up. That's why AA ended.
The fallout is spectacular!😂😂
This one was so weird. I didn't know what was real and and what wasn't.
The BSU had to know something was up with this dude when he joined 😅
This would be funny if affirmative action wasn’t such a huge factor in medical school admissions
Yea. Look at all the white women Dr's.
I feel that ideally, admission perks should be based off diffculty of life experiences. Now obvously this means minorities should benefit the most since theres an obvious direct correlation between race and difficulty of life, but the few outlier whites/Asians who actually do go throught the same level of trials and tribulations as minorities should be given the same break. It's for this reason, that SOME asians and whites are justly angry at affirmative action since they have life as hard as a black person, but are assumed to have it easier, meaning they are expected to prove even more. On average though, I think affirmative action is fair, since the correlation between race and difficulty is just so strong
Ideally in a country that needs more doctors, there should be more medical schools and residency programs opened. Enough with all this bs about having hardships just to get into school...
@@kujoqtaro7264 Yeah it is pretty weird how there are so few openings
"Full tootsie roll" took me OUT!!!
This is so old. You only now found out about this?
He lied proof th-cam.com/video/u6bla5HW_S8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wb8I7-eq4S5aXyYx
Excellent! You are correct Dr. Webb.
He's actually darker than alot of black people in America.
So. He’s still not black.
@@guesta9822 True. But it definitely is weird how alot of people from India have this weird unnecessary distain and hatred for black people when in reality they aren't that different from us.
@@yolandaperry86 because they are a different race, have different facial features and hair. They are not like us and I don’t care if their skin is dark.
FYI, Jojo White was a point guard for the Boston Celtics. Teams won Gold in ‘68, and two NBA Championships. I would say a somewhat famous man and BTW, they had their 18th championship this year over Dallas. 😅. Cheers
Who? Stop googling!!!!
This is why it’s best to have a meritocracy. Not an advantage for being a certain race
Dr Webb, does this video not get you in trouble with CNN?
They're probably the ones paying him and helping him to make this weird spine surgeon propaganda channel hahaha. Guys a fruit cake, and joking about a serious issue too to get people all upset hahaha what a loser
CNN are probably the ones paying him to make this weird spine surgeon/propaganda youtube channel hahaha, aaaaaaahahahahaha
@@zx6r79so why would you be on a page that is “liberal propaganda?”
Preach Dr. Webb!
I thought you were actually going to actually address the issue the young man said.
If in future a majority of applicants are minority or whatever the preferred applicant status is will we get back to who is actually the best qualified based on test, values, communication, character, determination or do we invent another reason to continue racism, classism or whatever the popular ism might be.
Stuuuuupid if he has to fake being someone to get into med school and can’t get in because of who he really is he doesn’t need to be seeing patients he needs to BE THE PATIENT
Couldn’t you say the same for any applicant that emphasizes their race or ethnicity in their application?
I’ll listen to Dr. Webb’s criticisms of all matters relating to medical school admissions and simultaneously meeting needs to produce qualified physicians and meet the needs of underserved communities. Dr. Webb earned his way to where he is, and knows what are critical skills and what are simply obstacles for students from a poor background.
He has a point... why should race be a factor in medical school admissions?
Didn't know Indians were such a majority in this country. When did this happen? 😂
don’t hate the player, hate the game
Lol my man's got jokes
He's darker than most Black people, including me and the guy on the left.
I remember an old PBS documentary detailing the rigors of getting in to Harvard medical school. It continued to vividly detail the rigors Harvard med and then residency. Hands down best students from around the world. I guess things are different now. Wish we would work on education, values, accomplishments, character, and determination and not racist quotas, conniving application tactics etc. USA better get their shit together. No longer the pinnacle of education and success.
This is crazy, like I see both sides of the argument but some folks don’t have to go to these lengths to get into school. Like maybe if one is having trouble getting into medschool, some self reflection is needed…..
You missed the point dummy, if youre black in this country you have privilege over everyone else, he was just giving himself the best odds of getting in under a racist society and system. Duh
If it was that easy then why aren’t their med schools flooded with black Americans?
@@zx6r79😂😂
So Indian isn’t black?
They so confused!!!!😂
No they are very different culturally and in terms of there experience……respectfully.
Being black isn’t black, unless you vote Democrat.
@@isaiahfrancis6426 respectfully, research where humanity started, identity, and culture. Race does not exist, it is a social construct.
@@DollysParadise the Middle East actually is. There is so much history dating back thousands of years but experiences in life for both ethnicities are completely different. I do agree with you race is a social construct but here in America our experiences in life are very different. I don’t know what it’s like to be Indian but I’m a black man and I know what the black experience is like in America. Whereas an Indian man has their own experience and if you are female your experience in the world is very different. I appreciate your comment though thank you. I did not mean to be offensive in any way but this is sadly the way it is in the world. Have a good day. :)
Currently in medical school with friends on the admission committee. If people don't think that race is a massive factor in the admissions process today, you are sadly mistaken. It's discrimination at every step of the game clear as day.
Yep, whites and Asians completely completely dismissed because they don’t fit the DEI agenda
Similar to Harris story
Doc, you are so funny
Accepted🙆♀️
Only thing that matters in life, aside from money or if you have a family, do whatever you have to do to progress.
Revoked😂
Mindy Kalings brother and it’s a shame she is so talented but this really angered me when it came out.
This is sad
😂
"Soul Man (1986)" 🙃🙃🙃
But he's black
I applied to med school, didn’t get in. I was talking to one of the admission officers privately and they told me that if I was black I would have gotten in! The bar should not be lower, everyone should be held to the same standards!
Right. It cheapens our ability to put forth the requisite effort to reach up at the standard. Instead it offers a conciliatory, and patronizing lower standard that is insulting. As if to give me a pat on the head. I vehemently reject this.
What a lie. Why didn't you report the administrator who told you that, Why don't you call out the school right now, and why is it always blacks y'all go against when we know blacks are the least likely in the schools except for HBCUs and even some HBCUs have a lot of Whites, Asians, and Hispanics. Until you people start calling out institutions for their so called discrimination, I'm believing this b.s. This seems like a way to separate minorities against blacks.
If it is true, why would the administrator say black when we know majority of the class is white? Did all of those white people get high scores on their MCAT and high GPAs? I doubt it there need to be an investigations to these claims random people like yourself is claiming. Then again bigotry is bigotry.
Bullish!t! Why would any sane adcom member risk their job and institutional reputation by making such ludicrous statements to a failed applicant?
How is the bar lowered if a black person with the same stats as you gets in?

This is Mindy Kaling's brother, BTW.

Diversity ≠ Equality 😢
Can you give an example?
@@zx6r79watch the video
There have never been Equality so this is the reason Diversity is a must. Asian minorities for the longest benefit from Diversity and now they are complaining about equality. Diversity suppose to give a few people a somewhat leg up to the competition and Asians (very few cultures of Asians) dominated and exploited this loophole, now all of sudden it doesn't benefit them let get rid of it. They didn't fight for it, or even bleed for it but some reason they think they should have a say after their group is on top, capital wise. Then again, ignorance is bliss.
I'm a doctor that's been a hospitalist for the last ten years. When I was in residency, my good friend was a surgical resident. We ate lunch everyday together. He wanted to be a plastic surgeon. And he could be. He was the smartest person I knew. So I was like damn bro that's a tough program to get into and he said, " Dude, I'm black. I can get into any program I want." It was the first time I became aware of this. Good for him though.
Of course he did . The only people that don’t realize this is going on have their heads up their asses, or just ignorant.
As a white guy I was not accepted to my preferred law school back in 1984, even though my GPA and LSAT scores were significantly higher than 2 of my black classmates that I hung out with and also studied with regularly. I also had twice as much voluntary community and social service hours than either . It was simple discrimination based on my color. It continues to go on to this day.
They were appalled when we compared our admission and rejections letters, and both looked at each other like “how could this happen?” They are both attorneys now, and I went on to start my own successful business. We are still all friends to this day and they bring it up all the time at parties, etc.
Whoever is reading God loves you have a good day ❤ Jesus is coming pls be ready❤

WTFFFFF
another BLACK STORY from Dr. Webb. If its not how i survive to be black, how i overcame racism, how i became a black doctor (like hes the only black spine surgeon.Theres another one on youtube who never talk about his black color) or day of my life of being a black doctor x 50 times videos on his profile. I dont know what this video is all about. Let me guess about Dr. Webb's next video, Its about BLACK! (100 percent, ill bet my life on it). Once he has family, next story will be how am i raising my BLACK KIDS.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Let it all out. Deep breaths. It’s okay. Not everyone has the capacity to go to med school bud.
Yeah it started with a panel of him talking about black representation in medicine, and that was fine, but then it kind of degenerated into activism out of nowhere
Chile bye.its past your bedtime. I won't waste time in explaining why all of that is important bc clearly your elevator don't go to the top.
Tell me you're not black without telling me 😂 your racism is spewing buddy...
Jojo is a joke joke
You may not like it but it's a fact Dr Webb because school admission data has proven it. This many year old story really riled you up. Just be known for your character and skill.
I wish that dr Webb would stay away from this kind of stuff. I get that you want to promote your people getting into higher fields of study and that’s great. But content like this video is just cheap, offputting, and odd for a medical professional to put out. I can see in the comments some others are feeling the same way as well. It’s a bit off brand for you. Idk…
no, I'm afraid I have to disagree. we need more individuals in his field speaking out against nonsense like this. outrageous. This idiot/liar showed how ignorant and arrogant he was as even after lying to get into med school off of his mediocre scores he did not successfully complete med school.
It's his content, he's allowed to post whatever he wants as long as it doesn't break POPI or the Hippocratic Oath. Y'all don't like to see medical professionals having fun
Smart!
Race should have nothing to do with getting into schools or getting a job.
Thanks for sharing unfortunately he took the place of a African American
