>54% are women, and 35% are nonwhite. But when we have media depictions of doctors, I agree they tend to be white and male

What's the issue? I used to watch a lot of medical dramas on TV and in my opinion the black rockstar MDs are way overrepresented in comparison to their real-life numbers:

'5.0%' in 2018 in the US[1] in real-life vs. '19.4%'[2] on TV

Well, this clearly isn't the case in the DALL-E training dataset, because "medical doctor" overwhelmingly yields white dudes-- even after OpenAI's effort at removing bias.
