A fellow who wipes asses for a living doesn't think poorly of garbagemen's
contributions to society in general. OTOH, this fellow had no business
looking
down his nose at the doctor because he was a little darker than others.
The doc
was raised and educated in Ohio. It was the blatant racism that offended
me.
The patient was openly abusive of any of the help who wasn't white. My
attitude
was, if he doesn't want their help, he doesn't need mine. Whenever he
wanted
something, I took my time finding him a white coworker.

Does he carry his prejudice to the point of refusing himself certain
medications, treatments & procedures? He'd probably be surprised that not
all of the medical wonders we enjoy today were invented, discovered or
developed by white, English speaking Christians in the USA. It would be
interesting to find out what treatments/procedures/medications he needed to
regain his health and what the religious, cultural etc. background of those
who brought that treatment etc. to modern medicine was. If he knew, he
would probably limit his own treatments to a nice big enema. (I _hope_
those were invented by white Europeans at least) But as that might be
administered by a Filipino nurse...well, I guess that is out too.
So...there he is, just one more bigot, full of shiRt!
