You are a fountain of meaningless analogies.
Heart surgery can be discussed by anyone. The value of the person's input to such a discussion will vary. To suggest that only a doctor or a patient can discuss it is ludicrous. I would think that, in some respects, a non-qualified observer might be in a better position to discuss a number of aspects of heart surgery than a patient who was unconscious during the procedure.
In any case, virtually anything the patient has to say about heart surgery is going to be "hearsay".
The analogy does not hold up anyway because there is nothingspecialist about racism that requires the years of training that a doctor undergoes. It is a very simple idea that is practised by very simple people.
