The %BAME in UK is from 2016 estimates. They're 4 years out of date so not a fair comparison. You'd expect %BAME to be higher now. That could explain the difference.

Not by accident as Republicrites built a sys of inequality & saw/seized on covid45 to to “white wash” communities

Welcome to our sick version of evil capitalism people! True Democracy is dead! All the politicians lie whilst the unskilled workers die & the rich just look on with more greed in their eyes

19% of COVID-19 death BAME. 15% of population BAME. I honestly thought it would be more pronounced given higher rates of diabetes and urban living amongst BAME communities.

Pathetic Your deliberately causing racial tension

More proof it was created by China?, it's been proven they actively discriminate against Aficans /South Asians.

This has to point to massive inequality and social issues. This needs addressing, it's a disgrace and ought to be embarrassing our Country right now.

Covid-19 is racist

Gov is still defending its policies of *no right to rent* for some immigrants despite Pandemic anf pushing thousands of immigrants into crowded accommodation. These could possibly explain why?

This is nothing new but Covid-19 is exposing the reality.

If more whites are dying, then the response from the leaders will be totally different.

🙄 I have no words

Men die more than ethnic minorities Explain

Racist virus?
