Nah, I learned that from this very website.

If you don't see skin color, you're racist...

Not joking, it's what they say.

Cool. Good for you. Well, I selected "King County Vaccination Partnership - Redmond" place nearby. https://www.kcvredmond.com/en-US/
There you confirm eligibility first, fill the "pre-registration" form with required Race and Nationalty and in exchange you get "thank you" and a promise to get an e-mail someday with "scheduling link" to actually schedule an appointment. That was a week ago with crickets... :) No, there was no "rather not say" option for Race. You can say "other" and then you need to explain which it is... :) I also liked a binary "nationality" question - it was Latinx/Hispanic - or not. :) Nobody cares of your "nationaliity" otherwise... :) So "pre-registration" form allows pre-screening by race. DK whether they do that or not - but the pre-registration with race does enable pre-screening who will be invited to actually schedule an appointment - based on Race quotas - if they choose to do so... Whatever.. :)

Not saying the policy is right. But just so we are using the right numbers. As of 4/21 the breakdown is as follows for WA state:

All Cases: 391,839

of those cases:

43% race unknown

For the remaining 57%:

50% white
50% non white

Percentage of population of washington:

68% white
32% non white

Link to statistics:

so non whites ARE being infected at a higher rate than whites in respect to their percentage of population. Whether that should mean denying anything based on race is definitely a different topic in my book.

EDIT: The 43% unknown race could mostly white, or mostly non white, or most likely a mix thereof. I removed it out of the calculation since it is unknown. Again, not arguing this is sound policy. Only wanted to provide the correct numbers/context.

Using those numbers to justify policy is a recipe for endless disaster.

Let's do the math based on religion . . . which religion should get priority? How about annual income? Sexual preference?

Should we do the same with other things? If a particular race goes to the grocery store less frequently, should they be allowed to cut to the front of the checkout line?

I tend to agree with you on this one. I know race and social justice are hot topics right now, but personally I'm not sold on how things are being handled. Creating race based policy isn't the best way to create equality in this country in my humble opinion.

Let’s just let the hot chicks in line in front of us

They can have mine...I don't want it anyway.

I like this idea. But only if they ride the Store Pony after checking out. In view of others....
