Same could be said about you? Plus didn’t you see where I said the people in the parks were idiots or did that not suit your agenda?
I didn't see you posting videos of them and why did you only say anything about them when challenged?

or maybe it’s because they are not following social distancing? just a few videos over the past week? gives me the impression ethic backgrounds think they are immune?

But there are also loads showing white people not following social distancing rules etc. Can't just pick and choose.

It'll be months, if not years, before all this data can be properly analysed and cross referenced with socio-demographic data like age, sex, ethnicity, wealth, weight etc. to find trends.

Just popping in to say FUCK racists and fuck this thread now. I’m done with it.
Fuck actual racists, absolutely. Fuck everyone accused of being a racist in this thread... you'd have to fuck a lot of people.

Hi Mr. The Lurker, I think the video in question, if it is indeed of people breaking lockdown restrictions is a bad thing and should be condoned. Won't let that deflect from the fact you just want to use it to scrutinise the 'ethnics gathering in packs', as you so delightfully put it, in a manner I have no doubt you wouldn't had the perpetrators been white. In fact if I remember correctly the only reason you brought up said video was to deflect from the fact you kicked off about an article which you didn't bother to read and didn't understand. In fact I think this whole thing started because you seemed to be personally offended by BAME people talking about the fact their communities are being disproportionally effect by the coronavirus. Why you were offended by BAME people talking about ethnic inequalities I can't quite put my finger on seeing as it has absolutely no impact on you.

Because we all seen the news over the weekend with the imbeciles sunbathing. what we don’t see is the videos I posted.
Just google youths ignoring lockdown. There’s tons of videos, of all ethnic backgrounds but you’re only posting the ones of non white youths. Why is that?

Back to the original point, it would be interesting to see a socio-economic breakdown of the icu patients

But is it cos they is black?

Black Americans are far more likely to live inner city, in apartments blocks etc where social distancing etc is harder. This is linked to higher levels of poverty within that community.

While the statistic may well be true, it would seem some are trying to spin a narrative that the black community are being ignored at the expense, whereas I believe the impact is more likely to be from issues like their housing situation. This is linked to intrinsic financial inequality between race and it would be interesting to see what the figures are when you adjust for more wealthy black Americans that own suburban homes etc and can more easily avoid contact.

you guys do make me laugh. So i can’t criticise youths mobbing up in streets because it’s racist I get told the video is fake and prove you wrong. I state facts to back up an argument and get called racist. not once has anyone condoned the footage shown. says it all imo

if nobody has condoned the footage you’ve got what you wanted haven’t you?

It's also because their access to healthcare is limited.

Why did you start with that first line though?

Because they can’t afford the tests

Although say somewhere like south Africa has huge amounts of poverty, I always thought cities like Cape town and Pretoria were rich, even compared to the west.

I'd imagine a good percentage will be working class simply because they live in more built up areas. London will probably be more level if you like because even pretty wealthy people live in built up areas, cram into tubes etc...

Does anybody else think we'll see a new wave of terrorism after this, how easy will it be to send a few infected people to an airport and it'll bring the world to its knees.

Anyway, is someone gonna explain why this MP lady is apparently going to get fired, which I think was the topic before all this madness descended? What has she done?

ISIS come over and start serving up some bat soup in food halls?

I'm still trying to decipher what he meant by 'ethic backgrounds'. My understanding that these are wallpapers with the drawings of Western philosophers such as Aristotle and Plato. What has a still image of the world's greatest philosophers ever done to deserve such treatment :joyful: Alternatively, if it was a typo and what was meant was 'ethnic backgrounds' then he means literally everyone including you and I, as white people!
