I love his suggestion: Could this be me? Could I possibly have some unconscious bias impacting my behaviors? Thank you for this discussion, Dr. Williams.
Try changing cultures first. I'll bet if you do that, you'll likely see less health inequalities. To do that, you're going to be fighting an uphill battle against those you're trying to help. Good luck.
The tests designed to measure internal/implicit bias are laughable. Disparities in outcome are not proof of anything other than that a disparity exists. Asians and Indians outperform whites in every metric, does this mean there are a bunch of Asian and Indian people holding back whites? Asians have longer lifespans, does this mean that Asian doctors/nurses are not treating whites as well as they could be? Come to think of it, women outlive men on average. Are doctors giving preferential treatment to women?? No. This is video is a great example of how to come to a conclusion first, and work backwards from there, i.e. not science.
The studies on different treatment within the hospital by ethnicity is science. Asians in the US are relationally more robust (simply measured by intact marriage and children born within a stable two-parent home - family fracture and poverty are highly correlated). Life span differences between males and females - males die sooner at every stage prenatal to geriatric. Much of that appears to be biological, although on the lifestyle side, as women assimilated into the work force certain conditions began to show at a higher rate than before as well. Different elements different drivers.
So good. This video changed my life and encouraged me to continue to educate and build our young black children.
I like how he explains it so easy to understand and straight on the point.
Fabulous interview! Thanks to each of you!

Incredibly thought-provoking. I am not saying right or wrong, but thought-provoking.

"that personal curiosity" ...would be revolutionary! thats my 2 cents
Most of the doctors I work with are minorities, so what does he have to say to that.
The few doctors you work with in the town you live in don’t equate to the US population of doctors. Nice try.
