In brief, blacks and Hispanics are on average poorer than whites, live in more crowded multi-generational housing, and tend to have jobs that cannot be done remotely and have high contact with many other individuals.

Racism has almost nothing to do with it. If you corrected for whites with a similar socio-economic conditions, there's probably little difference.
