There is a mistake in this video. At about the 3:25 mark, speaker says over a third of US population is African American. That is incorrect. African American population in US is around 13%. Speaker may have intended to say people of color make up more than a third of US population. Hopefully, this mistake doesn't keep people from identifying with the overall message.

I saw that to and wondered maybe he meant all non-white then that would almost be more accurate.

[@emeraldblessings]

Profound. I'll definitely be using this in a training

[@jentrevorpitts323]

You can always tell someone is lying, or knows they are full of crap, when they are saying positive things but shaking their head side to side as a no. This man knows he is full of it.

I have no friends, so I guess I'm equally biased lol. Jk, It's actually that I lack trust in people. Too many letdowns.

If someone asked me "what makes me come alive?" I would have no idea what to respond with.

Thank You for this information 💕 a doctor is being Bias towards me.

[@aldehiscent1]

I just wonder about the % of physicians being POC? In my region, it seems (may not be fact, but very much seems and more often than not) that the vast majority of physicians are from the Asia continent, Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, etc. SO, are we not counting them as POC???

[@roseriverasoto]

Dont make sense

[@alexandriawoods6032]

So you think a certain way towards a group of people that makes you not give them medical treatment? That's not bias or prejudiced as much as it is murder
