I live in a very white place and I knew at the beginning when people were dying at an intense rate that I'd never get the care I should get if I got infected, so I made sure to take every precaution available because I didn't want to be in the position.

You know I got receipts!

My Mom, my brothers & myself have been covid free & flu free since covid came to Canada. We're trying to stay that way but it's difficult when surrounded by majority of antimasking public. We don't really socialize with others much anymore because it's too unsafe in indoor spaces. We do safer outdoor things instead.

I challenge white folks to open a dermatology book and count how many darker skin tones they see. How can doctors treat people with darker skin with a condition if they don't see it in their studies? How many medical drawings show a pregnant Black woman? Not many.
We really need more equatable medical texts, more Black doctors, etc before we ever get some level of balance.
