Racial Profiling In Health Care: An Institutional Analysis Of Medical Treatment Disparities, René Bowser
Racial Profiling In Health Care: An Institutional Analysis Of Medical Treatment Disparities, René Bowser
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
This Article links unscientific, race-based medical research to a broader, institutionalized pattern of racial profiling of Blacks in clinical decision-making. Far from providing a solution to the problem of racial health disparities, this Article shows that race-based health research fuels a collection of dubious background assumptions, creates a negative profile of Black patients, and reinforces taken-for-granted knowledge that leads to inferior medical treatment. This form of racial profiling is unjust, and also causes countless unnecessary deaths in the Black population.
