Covid Is Racist

Somewhere there is a list, with pictures, of all the NHS workers who have died of covid and most of those were from the ethnic minorities. Very sad really.

// 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.//

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'
