Expert to NYT: We could “level the playing field” by vaccinating essential workers before seniors since seniors are “whiter”
Percentage-wise, there are more minorities working front-line jobs as essential workers than there are among senior citizens. Which is why, for certain wokesters, the seniors or essential workers? conundrum remains a vehicle with which to pursue a sort of very rough racial justice. This NYT piece, now almost two weeks old, made the rounds last night after a producer on Samantha Bee s talk show of all places found himself aghast at some of the quotes gathered from racially conscious experts. Even liberals are choking on the logic of deprioritizing senior citizens *because* they re whiter as a group than essential workers.
But that s what some are proposing.
