Unless there would be a reason that makes black or white people more vulnerable there is no reason to distinguish between skin colour.

ok cool
I think the Times is kind of misrepresenting how the healthcare workers feel though.
I get that the workers only see black faces for years then when they get the vaccine there’s a million honkeys in there race is an easy way to break it down
but every time I say it’s money not race I get called a class reductionist so me expecting pushback on this isn’t unreasonable
the way the Times writes that you’d think the nurses are Nation of Islam segregationists or something
They don’t care if you’re white. They care that you’re not from the community.
I can’t speak for all of them but I never felt unwelcome as the only white or almost the only white face in a clinic
Honestly it’s more likely that black healthcare workers will bend over backwards to make sure you’re comfortable
