"Even Tamil Cinema wouldn‘t cast her"
Read that again & realize how embarrassing & stupid that actually is!Imagine supporting an industry that claims to be Tamil, yet actively refuses to cast Tamil women who look like majority of Tamils to represent us.. 🤦🏾♀️
genuinely believe that, despite being oppressed for generations, women in the Indian subcontinent have shown more courage, better judgment, stronger leadership, and, on average, higher IQs than their male counterparts. Imagine what they'd achieve on a truly level playing field.
There is a misconception that International Medical Graduates (IMGs) take residency positions from U.S. graduates. The data does not support this.
Each year, the United States produces approximately 31,000 MD and DO graduates, while there are about 40,000 first-year residency positions available. This means that even after all U.S. graduates match, thousands of residency positions remain unfilled, and these positions are largely filled by International Medical Graduates.
In other words, IMGs do not take positions away from U.S. graduates; rather, they fill the positions that would otherwise go unfilled, particularly in specialties such as Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Pathology, and Neurology.
Additionally, many IMGs work in rural and underserved areas as part of visa waiver programs such as the J-1 waiver (Conrad 30 program) and other service-based contracts. These programs require physicians to work in areas where there is a shortage of doctors. Because of this, IMGs play a critical role in providing healthcare access to communities that might otherwise have limited or no physician coverage.
According to workforce data, approximately one in four physicians in the United States is an International Medical Graduate, and a significant proportion of them serve in primary care and underserved regions.
Therefore, IMGs are not replacing U.S. graduates, they are supplementing the physician workforce and helping sustain the American healthcare system, especially in high-need areas.
IMGs are not taking spots they are filling gaps.

There's been a LOT about why RFK Jr is a terrible pick, but I want to focus on something that is very concerning to me, but no one seems to be mentioning.
He appeals to a widespread, common-sense idea that the problem with our food is that it has "lots of artificial ingredients". Get the artificial ingredients out — no chemical additives! no food dyes! no high fructose corn syrup! — and our health problems magically resolve.
This is 100% incorrect, and fundamentally misunderstands the problems with our food system.
Prime Minister Modi's government has cracked down on the press and civil society, jailed political opponents, and pushed an aggressive Hindu nationalism that leaves little space for India's religious minorities. President Biden should raise these facts in his meeting with Modi.

"Afghan women & girls are 'going to' suffer unspeakable harm." — George W. Bush
Someone remind Bush that his Post-9/11 wars have displaced 37 Million civilians & killed over 1 Million civilians—disproportionately women and children. Where's the accountability for such atrocity?
