The Daily Mail using race baiting again

Per an article in the DM...
NYC's black and Latino neighborhoods have seen more death rates in NY
Some New York City neighborhoods have seen death rates from the novel coronavirus nearly 15 times higher than others, according to data released by New York City's health department on Monday, showing the disproportionate toll taken on poor communities.
NYC's black and Latino neighborhoods have seen death rates nearly 15 times higher than wealthy white enclaves, new maps reveal as death toll hits more than 15,900

Maybe the reason is the more well to do people don't live in crowded apartments or take public transportation. Which I'm sure includes a lot of people of all races ...
The article trying to make it a race thing. Another attempt by the DM to divide country with articles slanted in this fashion

Or could it be that it strikes DEMS disproportionately? That would be terrible!

ditto the local political figures and some national ones too,


demographics on the infection rates etc are out there, and getting more data every day,


the fact that a politician etc claims that a virus is racist, shows that that politician has another agenda, other than actually doing something to help those that he says need it,


a virus could care less who you are, where you are from or what color you are,
