I know this season is being pretty heavy handed with the discourse on how race is a big problem with Covid, but none of it is untrue, those of us who don't live in black communities just don't see it.
As Jackson tries to explain to the audience, it's the environment that systemic racism has created for POC that makes them so much more likely to catch the virus; overcrowded housing in poor communities, being frontline workers in jobs that put them at direct risk, being unable to isolate (or shield even if immunocompromised) because of being unable to afford to stop working or pay for separate accommodation, even if infected, and not being able to access healthcare because of no insurance, or prejudice from services. All things that are significantly more likely to be happening to people who aren't white.
One reviewer mentioned that Britain still has people dying and hasn't got this problem. Every death from Covid is tragic and unfair, but that's not the point.
They may not have realised that (outside of major cities) we are a much whiter country, with significantly fewer POC, and although we still have a problem with prejudice and disadvantage, it isn't the same culture as the US, with its long history of slavery. Even then, we still have issues with the so called Indian variant spreading like wildfire through ethnic minority communities, because of the differences in the risk factors.
As I said, it's easy to think that a problem doesn't exist because it's not in your environment.
I live in a very white area of the UK, and I'm extremely grateful for the cultural education that I've had from Grey's. I know very few POC, and it's taught me a lot that I just wouldn't have learned organically from my own peers. There are so many topics covered that just aren't an issue here (gun violence for example), so this sheltered white woman is thankful for the education.
Grey's should be applauded for its commitment to diversity and never shying away from the real issues.
