Racism, COVID-19, and the

inequality that fuels these

parallel pandemics
Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess
different behavioral traits corresponding to physical
appearance and can be divided based on
the superiority of one race over another. It may also
mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed
against other people because they are of a different
race.
Now a days the protests against systemic racism and
police violence sweeping the globe highlight the
intersection between two pandemics: COVID-19
and racism.
It is pointing out that structural inequalities mean
people of colour are hit harder by the coronavirus
because they are unable to get medical treatment in
equal way in some euorpean .
 It also concerned the protests that they are doing for
their rights may trigger an increase in the spread of
COVID-19.
Now the question arises that how the pandemics expose
inequality
Black Americans have been dying from the coronavirus
at nearly three times the rate of white Americans, while
black people in the United Kingdom are four times more
likely to die from COVID-19 than their white
compatriots.
