Covid Is Racist

[Spicerack]

according to several pundits. Black and brown people are much more likely to catch it both here and in the US. Any ideas why?

I put a post on this a week back.It was considered quite problematical among black Afro/Americans in Chicago particularly. It was put down to Diabetes,Hypertension ,Obesity and disregard for Social Distancing.
Can't be racist cos a Black Afro/American said it.

// The statement I came across somewhere recently was that in the USA the ethnic minorities tend to be poorer, less well nourished (quality of diet), more overweight, more likely to have diabetes, etc., etc.//

are we all tiffining our cucumber sarndwiches on the lorn and sipping our perfumed tea ( earl grey to you and me)

I thought everyone knew that social groups d nd e o( 3 or 4 ) with low incomes had really crap public health

you didnt? well they do
and they do badly when they are ill

ergo - or end of as that mad Aber likes to say

Oh oops and sorry social groups d and e ( or 3 or 4) are full of immigrants - so it is an association and not a cause

Very poor quality conversation on this on the Beeb where the poor fluffette couldnt get her pretty little empty head around the idea that the pakistani Brit had a completely different idea about colour compared to the democrat New Yorker - so they were never really talking about the same thing

;// Can't be racist cos a Black Afro/American said it.//

well covered in various threads retro - the main issue is that people cant see beyong the word 'colour'

The American on the Beeb previous post - couldnt get her head into - the people who are coloured are dying because they are dirt poor.
She was continually resetting her brain to "they are dying because they are black - this is a racist statement'

Racism isn't the disease, or the number of people it attacks. It's the way that the figures are interpreted to suit a particular narrative.
