Niet-blanken hoeven geen mondkapjes tegen COVID te dragen in Oregon

Black Lives Matter en een wereldwijde pandemie, dat gaat niet altijd samen. Zo zijn mondkapjes slegs vir blankes omdat ‘people of color’ met een mondkapje sneller slachtoffer zouden worden van etnisch profileren. Take note:
“Lincoln County, Oregon, has exempted non-white people from a new order requiring that face coverings be worn in public — to prevent racial profiling.
Health officials announced last week residents must wear face coverings in public settings where they may come within six feet of another individual who is not from the same household.
But people of color do not have to follow the new rule if they have “heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment” over wearing the masks, officials said.”
