How do you define “professionalism” in the workplace? That’s a conversation being had among women of color in medicine after a tweet about a Latina doctor being docked for wearing hoop earrings during a practical exam in medical school went viral. I got docked a bunch of points on my med school OSCE for wearing hoop earrings during a test.

The school calls the approach “test-blind.” Consider it cultural consistency: We live in a world of participation trophies; over time, the principal will naturally reach more societal sectors. Rejection is the opposite of empowerment, and these days, empowerment’s key. Per a June 8th press release, Pitzer proclaimed its position. ....
Print This week marked the 25th anniversary of the epic fight between Julio César Chávez and Oscar De La Hoya. In celebration of this historic event, The Times published an oral history of the fight. You should read it even if you don’t know or care about boxing. Pound for pound, it might be one of the most important works of journalism about Mexican Americans written in 2021. Chávez versus De La Hoya was more than just a boxing match. It was also “a proxy for all the complexities that come from being of Mexican ethnicity, living in a place that was once Mexico.” ....
