...injustice that is implicit in this situation cannot be righted by poor whites fighting with people of color over the few crumbs that are being thrown them. Whereas Blacks constitute about 12 per cent of the population, the medical school classes of '72 contained fewer than 3 per cent Blacks. The classes of '73 contained 5 per cent non-whites (which includes Orientals, Puerto Ricans, Chicanos, Native Americans and Blacks...
