@DrQuinnCapers4 This is good. Wish it Was never published, obviously. Not going to say thank you. But glad they aren’t allowing further harm.
The @JACCJournals needs to retract Dr. Wang’s other 2019 paper, which also makes racist claims.

#RetractRacists

Wang paper retracted! Never doubt what grass roots organizing and passion for justice can achieve. Thanks to all the voices!✊🏾
Retraction to:
| Journal of the American Heart Association https://t.co/89YW6LEfBW
@drjessigold @choo_ek @traependergrast We’re so tired. Also running out hashtag ideas. #RetractRacists #MedBikini
@nature will wonder why people are so pissed. They will gaslight and have to “have editorial discussion” to get to the bottom of a paper that shames obesity = liars.
UPDATE: still no retraction. @JAHA_AHA and @American_Heart
JAHA needs to #RetractRacists, then start over, without an author that claims Black students got in only for affirmative action.

AHA statement below.

Wang paper is wrong: Diversity, equity and inclusiveness in medicine and cardiology are important and necessary. Read the full AHA statement: https://t.co/fa9DucISDZ
@traependergrast @NarjustDumaMD @JAHA_AHA @GiselleSA_MDPhD @drbrowncares @SharonneHayes @DrMarthaGulati @DrSuzyFeigofsky @HeartBobH Also D&I is suffering enough the way it is. We literally cannot afford to keep erasing progress. This 💩 of a paper is unacceptable as is the idea that alternative viewpoints matter more than retraction.
#RetractRacists. Barriers are huge for URiM.

This should never have been published and we are frankly continuing to harm the longer it is allowed to stay under the journal’s name. Not retracting sends a strong message that the journal isn’t truly anti-racist & cares about “free speech” more than fact.
@traependergrast @NarjustDumaMD @JAHA_AHA @GiselleSA_MDPhD @drbrowncares @SharonneHayes @DrMarthaGulati @DrSuzyFeigofsky @HeartBobH hi dr. Harrington. We need to #RetractRacists. I know it’s nice to have alternative viewpoints. This is not one of those times. Has to be retracted. Attendings will start petition which will blow up and cost us time. Not retracting says a lot about JAHA. Pls retract!
@NarjustDumaMD @JAHA_AHA @GiselleSA_MDPhD @drbrowncares @SharonneHayes @DrMarthaGulati @DrSuzyFeigofsky There should be! shouldn’t have to start a petition for one of the most outright racist papers in recent history of cardiology to be retracted, yet here we are. #RetractRacists

@RoxanaDaneshjou @JAHA_AHA It’s not irony that paper on The “History of D&I initiatives in cardiology” never once mentions the word “racism” in the 12+ page document. It was intentional.
#RetractRacists
@JAHA_AHA You cannot claim to endorse inclusiveness and condemn discrimination when you published a paper that literally states without evidence that URM students are treated in a more "lenient" manner when research shows they face barriers of structural racism.

We have heard from so many who saw this 12 page sack of racism as incredibly triggering for imposter syndrome. It claims Black & Latinx Med students are less-than academically. It pokes holes into D&I initiatives.
Can we #RetractRacists ?
I think some confirmation is good.
Update: still no retraction.
#RetractRacists
We fully endorse inclusiveness in medicine & condemn all notions of discrimination. The article by Wang represents solely his view & does not reflect the opinions of AHA or the editors. It is being re-evaluated. More from Editor-in-Chief: https://t.co/w0o4ujC8aJ
APAMSA denounces the paper "Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity" published March 2020 in the Journal of the American Heart Association. The views espoused in the paper are contrary to both our values and our official policies as an organization.

Have you guys read this thread yet?! #RetractRacists also follow @ShrutiPatelMD.
@SharonneHayes mayo residents leading way on this
@American_Heart published THIS in 2020 arguing against affirmative action & stating “Diversity doesn’t save lives”.
There are many reasons why this piece is harmful outlined by #MedTwitter, but I want to focus on the fact that the author was of Asian decent.
Thread ⤵️
@arghavan_salles @EKing719 @American_Heart @SharonneHayes @DrQuinnCapers4 We are trying! We need to #RetractRacists. This isn’t his only racist paper, either. And he has another one in the JAMA Letter to Editor that gender pay gap doesn’t exist bc “women don’t invest as much as men”, lowering their net worth.🙄

@DrQuinnCapers4 @SharonneHayes Another paper in the @JACCJournals by same author published 12 months ago has the same takes.
Why does this author wtite essentially that diversity = incompetent?
#RetractRacists
@SharonneHayes have you seen this second paper?

#Truth.
#RetractRacists
This “free speech” excuse for publishing racist takes is not brevity, it’s complicity.
When hundreds (thousands?) of actually scientific manuscripts are rejected by reviewers, to make space for 12+ pgs of racism DEFINITELY is representative of journal.
#RetractRacists
I am so tired of these racist papers trending. Let’s amplify some good work!
If you have published work that addresses health inequities (not just pointed them out) I would like to amplify!
