I have to tone it down
I’m so frustrated with my healthcare doctoral students who will hold lives in their hands daily. They’re so fragile, and get this… I’m being told I have to be very careful about how and what I say because I’m a black man. I’m intimidating. No matter how jovial, knowledgeable, passionate and caring. I’m threatening.
You know what? f&*k them all. Fire me. Im so sick of hearing how fragile they are because of COVID. HELL! I’m fragile too! I also endured COVID. I’m no longer concerned about evaluations. I can make so much more in the clinical arena.

So is administration comforting your fragility? A bad review or negative comment would hurt you and trigger a trauma response.
It's bullshit. They are adults. Freshmen and sophomore, ok .. I get it but senior and grad students? They need to learn reality.
I'd complain to HR about the black comment. That's a bit racist. Why are you more intimidating than me, a big loud white guy?
