Incorrect. Please take the time to read the link.
"Haywood County, a majority-Black community not far from Memphis, has one health department, one nursing home and no hospitals. The fatality rate of covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, is 50 percent higher than the state average.
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory group has signaled it will recommend prioritization of certain essential workers, in part to address racial disparities exposed by the pandemic. People of color are overrepresented in industries such as food processing and transit, in jobs impossible to do from home."
As for your anecdotal experience, how many more people of color do you think have experienced the same exact thing in their lifetimes?

They are not anecdotal and I can also add some other experiences. I have never in my life thought of attacking because of ethnicity. As a teenager, I was attacked because I was white. My mother was attacked because she was white; and lastly my daughter was attacked because she was white. So don't hand me any anecdotal experiences crap.
