    Time Magazine Wants Your Dog to Die Because Veterinarians Are “Too White”

    (Profession Dubbed ‘Whitest in America’ as if It Were a Sin)

    The war on all professions/vocations/avocations that are deemed “too white” is nothing more than racism by any other name.

    At this point, the war on whiteness is nothing more than an admission by the elites manufacturing public opinion that they want your dog to die.

    Why? Because veterinarians are “too white.”[Pet Owners Are Diverse, but Veterinarians Are Overwhelmingly White. Black Veterinarians Want to Change That, Time.com, October 21, 2020]:

    As a child, Tierra Price was mesmerized by Dr. Dolittle, portrayed by Eddie Murphy in the 1998 film—not only because he could talk to dogs and sad circus tigers, but because he was a person of color who treated animals. “That resonated deeply with me,” says Price, who wore an oversized white coat and carried around a stuffed Dalmatian for her first-grade career day. “I grew up thinking that I was going to be one of the first Black veterinarians because I had never seen any,” says Price, now 26.

    There were no Black doctors at vet clinics near her Louisville, Ky. home or at the local animal shelter where she volunteered. Price didn’t see her first real Black veterinarian until she was 19 and participating in a veterinary program for minority undergraduates. By the time she started veterinary school, she felt like an outcast. In 2018, Price created an online networking group for Black vets just to connect and commiserate with people who looked like her. “I was going into a profession I didn’t really belong in,” she says.

    There is a reason it is "white". Vet school is very difficult. My cousin told me what was hard for him was you had to know the anatomy of many different creatures, not just two leggers like a dr does

    Good to know difficult things are beyond the abilities of black folks........I have former students that are at vet schools. My first LOVE was a vet. I tell kids that want to be a vet that its harder to get into vet school than medical school.
