That said, a person does not have any sort of right to have doctors of a certain race, gender or religion covered by his/her health plan. And all of us would likely agree that a person who turns down a good specialist based on race is foolish. But it is his/her right to do so.

No one is talking about whether you have a right to do it or not. What we are talking about is whether it is racist to do it.
What if you pick your lawyer by race? Is that racist?
