<p>If you like your doctors and nurses to show a &#8220;sense of urgency&#8221; when caring for you and your loved ones, you might just be part of &#8220;white supremacy culture,&#8221; according to one prominent medical school.</p>
<p>Duke University School of Medicine <a href="https://medschool.duke.edu/news/school-launches-plan-dismantle-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> a <a href="https://medschool.duke.edu/sites/default/files/2021-08/dismantling_racism_and_advancing_equity_diversity_and_inclusion_ADA.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">strategic plan</a> in recent years claiming that having a &#8220;sense of urgency&#8221; is part of &#8220;white supremacy culture&#8221; and suggesting that forcing this expectation on people of color is &#8220;discriminatory.&#8221;</p>
<div class="page" title="Page 42">

<div class="column">
<p>&#8220;In the workplace, white supremacy culture explicitly and implicitly privileges whiteness and discriminates against non-Western and non-white professionalism standards related to dress code, speech, work style, and timeliness,&#8221; the document reads.</p>
<p>&#8220;Some identifiable characteristics of this culture includes perfectionism, belief that there’s only one right way, power hoarding, individualism, sense of urgency and defensiveness,&#8221; the document adds.</p>
<p>The 2021 guide, which Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/duke-medical-school-claims-timeliness-individualism-part-white-supremacy-culture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on Tuesday, defines white supremacy culture as the &#8220;idea (ideology) that White people and the ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and actions of white people are superior to People of Color and their ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and actions.&#8221;</p>
<p>Titled &#8220;Dismantling Racism And Advancing Equity, Diversity And Inclusion in the School of Medicine,&#8221; the document says the goal of the plan is to &#8220;catalyze anti-racist practice through education of our current and future workforce.&#8221;</p>
<p>The dean of Duke Medical School, Dr. Mary Klotman, praised the plan at the time of its unveiling.</p>
<p>&#8220;This plan reflects the School of Medicine’s goals, priorities and strategies relative to the path we have been on, the path we are currently on, and the path forward,&#8221; Klotman wrote in a message accompanying the document.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are proud of our longstanding commitment to diversity and excellence and yet we acknowledge that there is much more work to do,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>The document also included a definition of &#8220;white fragility,&#8221; which it says refers to &#8220;feelings of discomfort a white person experiences when they witness or engage in discussions around racial inequality and injustice.&#8221;</p>
<p>The idea that timeliness is a value of &#8220;white&#8221; culture has been around for at least the past several years.</p>
<p>&#8220;In a world driven by capitalism, professionalism &#8230; centers productivity over people, values time commitments, accomplishes tasks in a linear fashion, and often favors individuals who are white and Western,&#8221; <a href="https://ssir.org/articles/entry/the_bias_of_professionalism_standards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reads</a> a 2019 article in the Stanford Social Innovation Review. &#8220;In contrast, polychronic cultures, while still able to get tasks completed, prioritize socialization and familial connections over economic labor.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other professional expectations that have been criticized as too &#8220;white&#8221; are <a href="https://ssir.org/articles/entry/the_bias_of_professionalism_standards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speaking</a> &#8220;white standard English&#8221; and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/13/sports/serena-williams-discrimination-black-women.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">keeping</a> anger in check at work.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, equity advocates <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/universities-scrap-sat-scramble-to-stay-diverse-ahead-of-affirmative-action-ruling">have</a> <a href="https://www.kevinmd.com/2019/09/its-time-to-abolish-the-mcat.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushed</a> for medical schools to stop requiring the MCAT in recent years, alarming critics who worry that schools could end up graduating less qualified doctors, putting patients at risk.</p>
