Black Doctor Sues UCLA for Racist Treatment

A Black surgeon and professor at the University of California Los Angeles who was depicted in a slideshow as a gorilla being sodomized by his white supervisor recently filed a lawsuit against the medical school. Dr. Christian Head, the only Black tenured professor in UCLA's department of head and neck surgery, said the offensive slideshow, which was originally shown at a UCLA School of Medicine graduation "roast" on his behalf and has since gone viral on YouTube, was just one in a string of racist and demeaning encounters he had during his time with the medical school.
