Will being a white male help my career opportunities in the future due to the reverse discrimination pharmacy (or health care as a whole) is continually seeing today?
Minorities, now roughly one-third of the U.S. population, are expected to become the majority in 2042, with the nation projected to be 54 percent minority in 2050. By 2023, minorities will comprise more than half of all children.

I'd like to think there is not discrimation involved with acceptance of students into pharmacy school. No real way to tell. With that being said, if you think more women are being accepted than men into pharmacy school, maybe women are just more driven in this field than men. Maybe asians are more driven than white people.
I think in regards to undergrad, there may be some discrimation when it comes to scholarships. I know for a fact i missed out on some when i was smarter than other students because they were first generation college students. Also, I was upset when it came down to the EFC. That whole situation was a joke. I'll stop there cause that whole thing makes me mad.
No. Black males like me will take your job.Will being a white male help my career opportunities in the future due to the reverse discrimination pharmacy (or health care as a whole) is continually seeing today?
i know that it seems like "minorities" seem to get a lot of assistance in trying to accomplish their education, but you also have to take a look at the advantages that you have that they never had.
i'm lucky to have been given the opportunity to fail and get up again, and to succeed without any major negative impact.
I'm not really sure of these advantages you speak of. Only 1 parent in my family worked, i have 3 siblings, i went to the same schools as wealthy kids as well as people living in the trailer park down the street... I pay for my education out of pocket. I delivered newspapers growing up to make cash and then my first job was cleaning tables. Those are all things everyone has the opportunity to do. Unless you're saying because someone is black(white or whatever) they can't work as a table cleaner or deliver papers so that qualifies them as a minority deserving of grants or special scholarships?
Or is it that only kids living with a single parent are the only ones that deserve assistance? Or kids that have parents on drugs? This line drawn that seperates everyone is extremely vague. I just dont think a parents income should be the main factor effecting a students right to financial aid. Plus consider the fact that state universities charge so much for tuition. That's not right to begin with, state universities are supposed to be paid mainly by the state. At what point did these state universities stop being institutions of higher learning and become big business?
Anyway, i love a good discussion like this, lol, one sided or not.
People often think that being a "minority" gives you some sort of advantage in the workplace or helps with getting into a certain school. I don't necessarily think that it is race as much as the unique perspective such a person brings to the table. There will always be cultural and language barriers and I'm sorry but you need a diverse population of healthcare providers to provide care to a diverse population of patients. Just my two cents.
