Can we stop calling other specialties “real doctors” when comparing them to pathologists because I did not give up my 20s and learn how to read EKGs to be called “not a real doctor”

I was bullied a lot as a kid. Growing up Chinese in a white rural town, I would hear “chink” or “go back to China” as I was beaten up. Looking back, I know those were hate crimes. What happened in Atlanta was a hate crime. I’m proud to be Chinese; I’m also afraid. #StopAsianHate
