When a half million people die unnecessarily, the appropriate response of a decently compassionate person with some degree of empathy is not "so what?"

As a general rule, American Descendants of Slaves (ADOS) live in closed communities, A lot of it by choice, because humans are social animals, and we are most comfortable among our fellow creatures, just like any other pack or herd animal. This includes whites, racist whites tend to live amongst other racist whites.
And the white controlled society has created road blocks to assimilation for black and brown people. Like redlining
Thus forcing people into ghetto’s. There was a time when, in Boston, you would see lawn signs saying Dogs and Irish keep off my lawn, and Irish, Italians were not considered white, but they lost their accent and language and Anglo’s could no longer identify them and thus consider them non white.
A ghetto is an area occupied primarily by a minority group or groups. Not necessarily poor and urban, and there are still ghetto’s in large cities, but they are mostly voluntary. Like Cubanos in Florida, Irish in Boston, Italians and Chasidic Jews in New York, Somali in Minneapolis. And of course white Christian nationalists in the south and Midwest.Latino’s in California, especially L.A.
Birds of a feather flock together.
The problem with these ghettos or havens, is that they are quite social, meaning communicative, partying, conversing, reinforcing and as a rule they know each other in the “hood”
This makes them adverse to anything that interferes with their social life, and that includes masks.
This is also true for rural whites, where households are more spread out, unlike big eastern cities with row houses. There only social life is the grange or the church, which is where the catch and pass on disease.
As a genealogy hobbyist, I’ve traced the spread of diseases like typhoid, along the immigration corridors.
Most contact was at trading posts and churches, important way stations for the spread of disease.
But it is just not minority groups that are such social animals much of it driven by sex hormones, but also our need to see the facial expressions, that we use to more accurately interpret or convey our intentions, emotions and meaning.
The point I am making is that people who live in a cloistered or closed society, and a “hood” even a street is a society, are reluctant to wear masks because it interferes with social and sexual intercourse. .

I totally agree, but lets face it.
