That is beyond laughable. If it were even close to true, by the time you had factored in all the Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, Pakistani, and Middle Eastern physicians, you would be able to count the white doctors in the US on your hands.

According to the 2000 US census, there are 105,300 physicians and surgeons in the US who identify themselves as ethnically Asian (which includes all of the Far East and the Indian Subcontinent). Asians as whole account for 15% of all US doctors.

This outright lie, of course, casts doubt on all the other ‘statistics’ presented in your article.

I would have thought your country had higher journalistic standards that this.
