Why COVID Is a Race Issue

“Why is COVID a Race Issue?”

 

Communities around the world are being affected by the (as of writing) ongoing COVID epidemic. However, communities from oppressed communities are being exposed to and dying from COVID at much higher rates. This results from being forced into lower-paying jobs where being in-person is mandatory and from living in segregated neighborhoods that expose the individuals to more health risks. Since this is drawn across mostly racial lines,  this is Why COVID Is a Race Issue.

 

And don’t forget, #BlackLivesMatter
