This article about a Baylor study, which shows that white students at very selective universities tend to rate Asian-Americans than blacks or Latinos, quotes lead author Jerry Park, Ph.D., associate professor of sociology in Baylor’s College of Science. Park says study findings about the stereotypes have implications not only for society in general, but for medical clinicians and patients. They might do well to reflect on presumptions they might have about racial groups, he said.
