    ... and Dominique didn't pick the interviewer up when she referred to her as Danielle......

    The Prof pointed to disposition as the reason behind the disparity. The UN Deputy Chair on proving everything to be racism agreed that diabetes, heart conditions etc (the underlying health conditions which make surviving C-19 more difficult) were more prevalent in BAME groups but that was purely down to racist related stress. I would have asked her if those diseases were also more prevalent in countries where BAME people were both in the majority and in charge. The answer is yes but she would have bumbled and fudged the answer.

    Whatever Maddy.
    I think the point is, the amount of **** wits who bring the race baiting card out every time there is a story in the head lines.
    The real issues get missed or slated as a result.
    Like the black poet moaning that the lack of black faces in the coronavirus NHS pictures is racist?
    Who gives a flying ****, what colour the medics are?

    The link between ethnicity and Covid-19, along with a number of other conditions, has to be understood if we are to overcome such diseases.
    I’m not sure what the BBC is meant to have done wrong or who the ‘****wits who bring the race baiting card out every time there is a story in the headlines’ are meant to be.
    I do know who the ‘****wit’ is on this forum who keeps raising the issue of ‘race’ time and time again though, and he’s almost as annoying as the other ‘****wit’ doing the snide voice over on that YouTube clip.
