I think about this study A LOT www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

“When white people in the U.S. were more aware of racial disparities in Covid-19, they were less fearful of Covid-19," said Allison Skinner-Dorkenoo, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Georgia and co-author of the study. ‘We found evidence of less empathy for people who are vulnerable to Covid-19 and we also found evidence of reduced support for safety precautions to prevent the spread of Covid-19.’”
