Racist Rubric Underlies COVID-19 Care Guidelines
Opinion piece published in The Oregonian, 7/26/2020
“Under these conditions, ‘equally’ applying a colorblind care rubric is not an act of fairness—it’s an act of unapologetic, litigiously obfuscated structural racism. The rubric is de facto racism cloaked in de jure innocence. Oregon must do better. Failure to change will be to commit an act of racialized public health violence: systematically choosing white lives over Black, brown, and Indigenous ones.”
