Fascinating. I'd expect blacks to be less masked than other groups. In Europe, it was always the racial minorities (sans East Asians) who were least likely to try to follow guidelines supposed to prevent the spread of the virus.
That is absolutely obvious. Unless you are old, extremely fat, or in another risk group - there is no reason at all to wear a mask. I do know someone who says: I know masks may not benefit me at all, but as I am at a higher risk and don't consider them that awful to wear, better safe than sorry.
But if you're 20 and you're wearing a mask despite having 900 vaccines, we know what this is about.
Around me minorities are blacks and Mexicans mostly. Really mostly a right in the middle of middle-class area. So you get the slightly more successful blacks and not the career criminals. The Mexicans are often second generation ones. They were out doing things in public by about day 3 of "14 days to slow the spread" and never cared.
Middle-class blacks on the other hand are a weird group. I've interacted with them at work and while if you just talked to them they are decently right-wing in ideology in a lot of ways, but damn if they don't suck up the BLM kool-aid, wear the mask, push the vaccines, talk bad about conservatives, etc. It's like they aren't capable of seeing the disconnect and that the people who agree with how they think life should be are not the Democrats.
20-something upper-middle whites run from here like it's a disease. The only thing that matters to them is if their urban apartment is trendy enough and close enough to a coffee shop, Whole Foods, and "ethical" restaurants. I'll be curious to see how many of them ever leave that life, because it seems to be a lot more of them than when I was that age.
Middle-class Black people (both men and women) and Asian women are the ones I see wearing masks the most in the city.
Racial minorities in Europe, at least the ones that integrated with society are also conservative, HEAVILY conservative, and they will have values similar to that of our conservatives here int he US (minus the hanging gays bit).
