Yup.
And tbh, from my experience, 'english' doctors have not really been easier to understand than foreign ones. I have in the past been sent people with very strong accents, and the likes of very strong Scottish or Irish I tend to not understand very well (though Irish, regardless of me being able to understand or not I could listen to all day!). Also one of the GPs in my surgery is English, and from the same area as me but tends to bloody mumble all the time and speak really really fast at others. The amount of 'pardon?!'s I have to do when seeing her is insane really. White would also mean he could be sent, for example a Polish or Russian doctor too, which could maybe not be that easy to understand either depending. And of course, he could be sent a black english doctor too. So yeah, definitely about racism rather than wanting someone he could understand tbh.
