I would prefer that as a community, we acknowledge the existence of this bias in healthcare data, and also acknowledge how harmful that bias is while using adequate resources to remedy the known issues.

There is a more specific word for it: Institutional racism.

It’s amazing!!!

Cute! I got these for my signal app

Done! I want the holographic Lisa frank under water sticker!

I am aware of this, and believe it is real. However this wasn’t even his argument.

Time to plug into a WIRED subscription.

Woops, not reading this one. I’ll go speculate in the comments with everybody else.
