Racism that unjustly marginalizes black people in the United States is not a new concept. It underlies nearly every aspect of American history, leading to the systemic racism that is ingrained in our society today. With the recurrent theme of people of color having worse health outcomes than the majority community, it is important for hand surgeons to employ cultural competence and antiracist education to provide better care and support for patients, staff, students, and colleagues. In this article, we will provide a definitional framework, clinical examples, and practical pearls to promote change. To reduce racial and ethnic health care inequities and diversify the field of hand surgery, we must advocate on behalf of black and brown colleagues, staff, students, and/or friends to address racist policies and procedures.
在美国，将黑人不公正地边缘化的种族主义并不是一个新概念。它几乎构成了美国历史的每一个方面，导致了今天我们社会中根深蒂固的系统性种族主义。由于有色人种的健康结果往往比多数族裔群体更差，因此手部外科医生采用文化能力和反种族主义教育为患者、工作人员、学生和同事提供更好的护理和支持非常重要。在本文中，我们将提供定义框架、临床示例和实用技巧，以促进变革。为了减少种族和民族健康保健方面的不平等，并使手部外科领域多样化，我们必须代表黑人、棕色人种的同事、工作人员、学生和/或朋友倡导，以解决种族主义政策和程序。
