Those opinions are modal American opinions. Affirmative action is not popular, and in general people don’t like policies which favor or discriminate on the basis of race.

I think you may quite fairly disagree, or claim that the author is not representative of black physicians, or anything else — but discounting them by their associations and other political beliefs which are actually very common is not a real argument.

You’re just saying they’re a “Bad” person and so can’t be trusted. I think you should debate ideas, not people. Otherwise it’s just tribal politics.

Didn't read the article because i don't care to bother with the paywall, but if its title is related to any arguments within, then the comment you're responding to actually does address the main idea.

The title is an argument from authority against mandated implicit bias trainings, and GP's point attacks that authority.
