60% of NO is black. 80% of Detroit is black. Are blacks really being affected that disproportionately? In NYC 28% of the deaths are black and they comprise 22% of the population. Hispanics are 29% of the population and suffered 34% of the deaths. Whites are 32% of the city and had 27% of the deaths. Asians are 14% of the population and had 7% of the deaths.
We also don’t know whether or not the WuFlu tore through Asian populations earlier and deaths were attributed to influenza.
