The race card is BS. It is about health habits. Just using my eyes here and you can see which races are more morbidly obese and don't exercise at the gyms or you see on trails hiking or biking.
Of course you can blame it on being poor and having no time to exercise, but I remember being much poorer growing up and we were not obese as my mother wouldn't allow crap food in the house but for Halloween or the candy my father hid in his drawer to eat with his 3 pack a day smoking habit. Dad died way too early... from COPD that his heart couldn't keep up with due to obesity. Mom died even sooner from HT (2nd hand smoke probably) and obesity. Their parents, my grandparents, lived 20 years longer unless they smoked later in life.
A good friend of mine's wife was very pretty when young but she got morbidly obese and had a massive stroke in her 50s... still in a wheel chair now with a helper while my friend kite surfs. I believe their two kids are 100# heavier than me and I'm on the border line of obese but fine according to MDs, just overweight, due to muscles from sports and exercise.
Anyway, I agree with you and it makes me sick that "the liberal clowns" seem to blame race rather than behavior for things that have a racial component.
It will be really interesting to see if CA has herd immunity from the virus coming here much earlier than thought due to the Chinese lying to us about when it broke out...
New study investigates California's possible herd immunity to COVID-19
"Something is going on that we haven't quite found out yet," said Victor Davis Hanson a senior fellow with Stanford's Hoover Institute.
Hanson said he thinks it is possible COVID-19 has been spreading among Californians since the fall when doctors reported an early flu season in the state. During that same time, California was welcoming as many as 8,000 Chinese nationals daily into our airports. Some of those visitors even arriving on direct flights from Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in China.
"When you add it all up it would be naïve to think that California did not have some exposure," said Hanson.
For years California has been the No. 1 travel destination for Chinese tourists in the United States. Even after the U.S. halted flights from China this winter Chinese travelers were still able to come to California on flights from Europe and Canada.
Hanson said through all of this the Chinese have been disingenuous about the timing of the initial outbreak of COVID-19.
"They originally said it was in early January, then it got backdated to December and then early December and now they are saying as early as November 17," said Hanson.
