Medical academics are increasingly bringing critical race theory (CRT) or its corollaries to their discourse, to their curricula, and to their analyses of health and medical treatment disparities. The author argues that this is an error. The author considers the history of CRT, its claims, and its current presence in the medical literature. He contends that CRT is inimical to usual academic modes of inquiry and has obscured rather than aided the analysis of social and medical treatment disparities. Remedies for racism suggested by CRT advocates will not work and some of them will make things worse. Academic medicine should avoid the embrace of CRT and should maintain an allegiance to rigorous empirical inquiry and to treating patients not as essentialized ethnic group members but as individual human beings in need of care.

反对学术医学中转向批判种族理论和“反种族主义”。

医学学者越来越多地将批判种族理论（CRT）或其推论带入他们的话语、课程以及对健康和医疗差异的分析中。作者认为这是一个错误。作者回顾了 CRT 的历史、其主张以及其目前在医学文献中的存在。他认为 CRT 不利于通常的学术探究模式，并且模糊而不是有助于对社会和医疗差异的分析。CRT 倡导者建议的针对种族主义的补救措施不会起作用，其中一些措施还会使事情变得更糟。学术医学应避免接受 CRT，并应保持对严格的实证调查的忠诚，并将患者视为需要护理的个体，而不是作为本质化的种族群体成员来对待。
