Thanks to all who wrote in. I just want to add yet another entry to the growing compendium of proof that scholarly standards are dropping precipitously.

For those with access, check out this two pager in jamapsychiatry_brown_2021_vp_210005_1628043316.03785 (2).

The paper's title" Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Implementation of Antiracism

Anyone who wants a pdf should email me at slsatel@gmail.com

This paper is yet another addition to what is becoming, to put it bluntly, a fraudulent literature on anti-racism in medicine. It is a jargon filled, echo chamber in which terms are rarely defined and it embodies the the well-known circular reasoning of the anti-racism movement: if you are not an anti-racist by our definition, then you are a racist. And every inequality is the result of implicit bias and structural racism - no questions allowed. Lastly, in the examples they give, they don't even control for race.
