Johns Hopkins Hospital is under
fire after its Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Health Equity sent out a
letter labeling white people, Christians, men, English-speakers, and others as
"privileged."
The
statement was bought to public attention in a post by the @EndWokeness X
account, which had gathered over 32
million views as of Friday.
In
an email sending out the hospital's monthly diversity digest
newsletter, "privilege" was chosen as the word of the month.
Johns
Hopkins Hospital Chief Diversity Officer Sherita Hill Golden
wrote: "Privilege is an unearned benefit given to people who are in a
specific social group. Privilege operates on personal, interpersonal, cultural
and institutional levels, and it provides advantages and favors to members of
dominant groups at the expense of members of other groups.
"In
the United States, privilege is granted to people who have membership in one or
more of these social identity groups: White people, able-bodied people,
heterosexuals, cisgender people, males, Christians, middle or owning class
people, middle-aged people, and English-speaking people."
Golden
released a new statement Thursday retracting the newsletter, saying its
purpose was to inform and not harm.
"The
newsletter included a definition of the word 'privilege' which, upon
reflection, I deeply regret," Golden wrote. "The intent of the
newsletter is to inform and support an inclusive community at Hopkins, but the
language of this definition clearly did not meet that goal. In fact, because it
was overly simplistic and poorly worded, it had the opposite effect of being
exclusionary and hurtful to members of our community."
In
a statement to Deseret News, Johns Hopkins Medicine confirmed the accuracy of
both statements.
"The
January edition of the monthly newsletter from the Johns Hopkins Medicine
Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Health Equity used language that contradicts
the values of Johns Hopkins as an institution. Dr. Sherita Golden, Johns
Hopkins Medicine's Chief Diversity Officer, has sincerely acknowledged this
mistake and retracted the language used in the message," a spokesperson
said.
Elon
Musk chimed in on X, writing, "This
must end!"
