This is an important topic we haven't discussed much at all on here. But needs to be addressed. I do not go to white men for any medical treatment if I can help it. Especially dentists. I've had a few painful memories of them not numbing my tooth and feeling that drill on raw nerve.

I try to get black women. I read a report that women are more sensitive than men when it comes to your comfort and pain. But I try to go black, or non white and if its non white / black I try for a woman. I avoid groups that generally look down on us: Indians, Whites, Asians. It makes it a bit tough to find people depending on where I am but I ask for references from the family.
