This story, by a young, female, black doctor illustrates beautifully how such "greatness" of men perpetuates racism and misogyny.   The deeply seated, unconscious bias on the part of the flight attendant is precious.    When a passenger experiences a medical emergency, the attendant calls for assistance from a doctor on board.   The female, black doctor tried to help.  She was told: “Oh no, sweetie, put [your] hand down,” the flight attendant said, according to Cross. “We are looking for actual physicians or nurses or some type of medical personnel, we don’t have time to talk to you.”
