A baby is admitted to the NICU and the baby’s father (who states
that he is a white supremacist with a swastika tattoo on his arm)
asks the nursing director to ensure that his baby is not cared for
by any non-Caucasian nurse. A black woman is admitted to the
emergency department stating that she has been raped by a white man
who claimed to be a white supremacist and asks to not be examined
by any man and particularly not a Caucasian one.

Respect for others.
No matter who you are, whether you are white or black, beautiful or ugly, rich or poor, nothing matters. The only thing that matters is the size of your heart.
The father who thinks that all white person is always superior to a black person maybe don't know about the woman who has just been raped by a white guy and the woman who has been raped may don't know that not all white people are the bad guys.
Actually, the problem with us is that if one person did the wrong thing, we start to judge every person belonging to that particular community and this is totally wrong. Maybe the nurse who is treating the raped woman is white and still, she is helping her.
My response to both the case will be I will be treating both the baby and the raped woman and once the treatment is done, I will make them understand that everybody is not same.
