Abstract
With the world in turmoil, an unexpected and tragic consequence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been its disproportionate impact on the British Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities. The pandemic led to an excessive number of deaths in these populations and revealed long-standing inequalities that began many years ago. This indictment raises questions about the extent to which racism and discrimination remain deeply rooted in British society. Have the diverse groups that together constitute the rich fabric of British society not heard, or do they choose to be deaf and blind to the suffering caused by racism and discrimination?

The simple answer to the question implicit in the title of this commentary, is that BAME professionals expect fair treatment, and should adhere themselves to the same equitable standards they expect of others
To what extent are Asian male doctors in the NHS committed to supporting BAME female peers to achieve their full potential and get the recognition they deserve?
Summary
With the world in turmoil, an unexpected and tragic consequence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been its disproportionate impact on the British Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities. Let us not forget that the British rich list consistently incudes at the top, members of the BAME communities. Racism is just one of the many prejudices that exist which include those against sex, age, disability, religious belief, and sexual orientation.
