Is the occurrence of kidney disease a self-inflicted illness or a generational curse? The host and panelists take on the myths and facts as it relates to how liable minority patients are for developing long-term illness and how much responsibility exists in the sustained practice of institutional racism. Interviews with current dialysis patients provide an insider perspective on the generational effects of kidney disease and prospects for the future.   One panelist shares her shocking account of confronting direct racism during a family outing. The group also debates the significance of symbolic measures taken by the Federal government (e.g., recent legislation to prevent Asian hate crime and recognition of June 19th as a national holiday) to address the systemic problem of racism and advocates for more direct solutions.
