You know a social problem becomes serious and legit when we discover--and only when we discover--that it is hitting blacks disproportionately. Brain cancer--not a major problem. It hits whites worse.
Now that we see that WuFlu is bad in black communities, we get the same old lament about omnipresent anti-black racism. Heck, you'll see it on Fox about as much as anywhere. The American people can never hear enough that disease is colorblind... but we are not.
Let's see what actual scientific research has to say about one of the conditions putting you at risk of Covid-19, diabetes:
The risk of type 2 diabetes is twice as high for blacks as whites, even after adjusting for socioeconomic status (SES). This suggests that genetic factors may help explain the racial gap.
The researchers in the linked study conducted an admixture analysis using 2,189 ancestry-informative markers in 7,021 African Americans. The group that was highest in African ancestry was 1.3 times more likely to have diabetes than the lowest ancestry group. This was true after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and SES.
