Hwang affair

Okay kiddo, so there was a lady named Janice Hwang who worked for a company that made a medicine called "BiDil." This medicine was supposed to help people with heart problems.

But, some people started to get mad because they thought that this medicine was only being sold to black people, and that's not fair. So, they started to investigate and found out that Janice Hwang was the one who made that decision.

Now, in a workplace, it's important to make decisions that are fair to everyone, no matter what their skin color is. So Janice Hwang got in trouble for not being fair and was fired.

This whole situation is called the "Hwang Affair" because it was about Janice Hwang and her decision about who could buy the medicine. It's important for everyone to remember that we should always be fair and treat everyone with respect, no matter what they look like.
