This was my conclusion as well. Maybe because I (naively) have trouble imagining that white doctors would reliably care less about black babies than white babies. Regardless, it should be simple to test for: just compare the outcome of all medical care administered in hospitals with relatively high amounts of black doctors to those with low amounts of black doctors.

Caring less does not have to be the only reason. I find it very possible that white doctors are less attuned to the small social and even physical differences (higher risk of certain things) for Black patients. For example, there are studies showing that white doctors are less likely to prescribe pain medication to Black women because they think they are overreacting. Part of that could be overt racism. But lack of time spent around Black people could be another culprit. One being individual racism, the other more a result of systemic racism.
