  • The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unequal impact on different racial and ethnic groups in the United States, resulting in new disparities of health outcomes as well as exacerbating existing health and economic disparities. The pandemic struck the United States in March 2020, causing almost 2 million known cases by June 1, 2020. During that initial wave, known cases were more than twice as common among Black Americans (62 cases per 10,000) and over three times as common among Latino Americans (73 cases per 10,000) as among White Americans (23 cases per 10,000). In the US, minority groups were disproportionately impacted by the health and economic consequences of the pandemic. Non-Hispanic Black Americans and Hispanic/Latinx Americans have been hospitalized at 4.7 times the rate of White Americans, while non-Hispanic Native Americans have been hospitalized at 5.3 times the rate of White Americans. Effects on racial minorities have most widely been discussed by news sources in terms of increased infection and mortality rates, but these effects extend to other domains including long-lasting detriment to educational outcomes and decreased economic stability. As such, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light existing racial and ethnic disparities in the United States through the risks of COVID, economic and financial tolls, and racism faced disproportionately by minority groups. For instance, Black and Hispanic people have faced economic hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic due to their social and economic standing in the United States. Additionally, anti-Asian racism has been prevalent throughout the pandemic. As COVID vaccines began to be distributed to the public in December 2020, vaccinations were distributed unequally by race: in some states, Black and Hispanic people received smaller shares of the vaccinations even if their infection rates were higher. For example, Colorado had 10% of vaccinations going to Hispanic people even though Hispanics accounted for 41% of total cases. In the same state, White people received 80% of vaccinations even though they comprise 68% of the population. (en)
