This has weighed on me all day.
This is systemic racism upheld by an institution with power in society.
The continual harm that #BIPOC suffer by initial racist events, compounded by the ongoing trauma of having to PROVE or CONVINCE ppl in organizat'n that the harm is racist /1 https://twitter.com/jennierussell_/status/1349422695419621377

must be addressed as part of dismantling #systemicracism
Who holds the power in this tribunal? Was there safety for the victim to speak/communicate with the tribunal of true harm?
At any point was it too personally costly for Dr. Onwuanyi because his safety was not assured?

Why does the onus fall on Dr Onwuanyi to "prove" that racist harm was inflicted upon him?
Did others on the Tribunal have safety to speak up in support of Dr. Onwuanyi?
Why does the institution in power get to have the final say as to whether racial harm was inflicted or not?/3

Racism & anti-racism must be separated from Professionalism in medicine. This is not something that can be left to subjective interpretation- this is about Human Rights, plus the organization in power has more risk of blind spots & implicit bias simply by having power in Canada.
If this was "not racist", then there is very little hope that such power structures will ever be dismantled. And that should concern not only all physicians+ HCWs, but everyone, because this affects patient care in the end.
