The headline is inaccurate and represents what is wrong with the media in this country. Racism is the belief that a race is inferior or superior. Did the AMA really admit that believe black doctors are inferior based on their race?

It seems impossible that an editor of major newspapers doesn't understand the difference between racism and racial bias. The use of emotional charged words like racism shows that the media is more interest in dividing American than anything else.
