Like say you have 2 ethnically indian doctors. Is it racist to prefer the one with an american/british accent over the one with an indian accent?

No. Everyone wants someone they can understand. Ethnicity isn't a factor there.

If you take the time to learn medicine, you can take the time to learn the accent spoken by your country.

Nah. If you have a hard time understanding someone who's going to be taking care of your health, it's disconcerting.

I would prefer a doctor whose handwriting I can understand.

Yeah. Depends on what I'm seeing them for. Best in the world for very specific procedures? OK. Primary physicians? I would like to communicate.

No. Accent has nothing to do with race.

It's not even bigoted, you're paying for the doctor, you should choose the one that you feel most comfortable with.

No, I definitely wouldn't trust someone with an Australian accent to cut me open on the operating table, Crikey!
