The Big Apple’s African American and Hispanic communities are being hardest hit as the coronavirus pandemic rips through the five boroughs, preliminary statistics released by City Hall show.

Hispanic New Yorkers account for 34 percent of the coronavirus fatalities despite being 29 percent of the city’s population.

The stats also revealed that African Americans make up 28 percent of COVID-19 deaths — even though they are just 22 percent of the city’s population

Those are hardly significant “disparities “

But of course it is all consistent with the politics of victimization

So we’ll just give the virus to a bunch of white guys in the suburbs. Just to make it fair.

The NY Post breaks fatality down the numbers this way:

Hispanics 34% deaths 29% of NYC population

African A 28% deaths 22% of NYC population

Whites 27% deaths 32% of NYC population

Asians 7% deaths 14% of NYC population

I heard 100 percent of white victims were white.

But don’t quote me on that.

Blacks and Hispanics probably make up more of the obese, high blood pressure, diabetic portion of the population, so they really aren’t disproportionately represented.

America... The only land where ‘disparity’ is a word. What about the poor people of Italian descent??? So far they have made up the vast majority of deaths.

Chicoms are racist.

Lifestyle and social behavior has nothing to do with it, I guess.................

Fun fact: The people most at risk are already unemployed.

How many immune compromised darlings are there, Love?

they really would not want to offend the IV drug needle sharers, fecal sharers, or children born from them, or uncontrolled herpes, hepatitis.

That would make other hateful measures an option. Both HIV and Covid-19 have their own privacy and civil rights, you know.

And this is significant how?

And here is yet another race baiter. These democrats and their media, all in unison. So obviously planned at a higher level. And all of them heading the call. I believe it was Pelosi who started it.

This is all designed for them to garner votes from African Americans in the next election. It is pure manipulation. They are terrified that many African Americans have decided to vote for Trump. And some conservative writers had better start getting out the true meaning of all of this.

All ready covered, Cuomo is sending the sick to upstate hospitals to infect the less "diverse" neighborhoods.

[P.O.E.]

No data on white hispanics?
