A question to ponder about Covid

I have a question which needs answering. I doubt anyone here will be able to answer it but it's still a question to ponder!

Why is it there are no black people/Asian people telling their stories in the media of loved ones they lost to Covid? This in the UK but if you live elsewhere in the World you may see different stories, I don't know but in the UK there are no people telling their stories.

I've not seen one Black/Asian family on the news or on news outlets like daily mail (who are always printing a story once a day of someone who died from covid). It's always a white person who's died and their loved ones talking about it. Why is this?

If so many black people and Asian people actually were so susceptible to covid in the UK and had more chances of dying, how come we don't see the families of black people or Asian people who have died or become seriously ill talking about it??

Don't forget I'm talking from the UK and going by what I've seen on the news and read about in online news.

Who else in the UK is witnessing this?

I guess you haven't read all the reports of minorities being hit harder by covid over the last year? How's that rock you're living under?

I don't see that many stories about anyone dying of covid regardless of race

Why would they make the paper unless they were a bit famous?

Is it a thing now?

I wouldn't even wipe my worst enemy's arse with this thread.

OF COURSE I have read the information about BAME being more susceptible!

I didn't indicate that I hadn't read that information did I?

Are you hallucinating? I was making a statement about how ridiculous it is to make outlandish claims without any evidence, it's the sort of thing that goes on in high school rather than ATS.... oh wait.

Because the only people dying of corona are your "third cousin's wife's brother's dog sitter"

and black people take care of their Pit Bulls.

The people I'm seeing the news are not famous either... but they are all white people.

This isn't a thread about rascism, it's about finding out why there are no stories involving black/asian people?

How can I post any links about black people not in the news about covid when they aren't in the news?

The point of the thread is??

I would suggest you might expand your news sources because the stories are out there.

Why do you ask?

Do you question if Black people are getting sick with Covid? Being hospitalized with Covid? Dying of Covid?

Or are you questioning why Big Media isn't talking about Black people getting sick/hospitalized/dying of Covid?

Black people are not taking the vax en mass .

You really must be forgetting all the rappers that died.. lots of Africans speaking out after being injured to the vaccine.. and honestly most African American people tell the media to go # themselves because their words get twisted to fit a narrative anyway.. with all their artsy clip cut paste of interviews.. that they actually sent a warning to the community

I guess I'm questioning why big media news outlets aren't reporting on it? At the beginning they were all saying how blacks and asians were more susceptible to catching the virus and dying from it but like i said I've not seen or read any stories from black people (in the well known media outlets like the DailyMail who always have been reporting on deaths) about loved ones dying from covid or even being in hospital with severe illness.

There seems to be a differwnce between the media you see and what we see in the US.

We're actually just about due for another fake story about somebody begging for the vaccine as they die of COVID, we get that about every 6 weeks. Before the vaccine was available it was people lamenting they called COVID fake before going on ventilator. This is more pronounced during events like COVID, but it's constant.

Our media is so full of fabricated nonsense, across the board. Even our entertainment is full of pushing agendas. I actually like TV from abroad. Streaming services are a blessing.

Maybe it's there and I'm not looking in the wrong places.

I don't tend to read tabloid papers and don't have a TV so I don't see the "news" or local interest type #e that often comes with regional news.

I do seem to remember a story a while back about a young dad with 3 kids who said covid was fake and the vaccines were made of cheese and then got covid and died. Something like that anyway.
