As a recent kerfuffle about one of Louisiana's senators (Cassidy) shows: if you slice the data by race you'll see that the death rates for whites is closer to the rates of the States with good outcomes; the outcomes for black residents is much worse.

In his case he was willing to point this discrepancy out, though he immediately blamed the victims.

So if it sounds like it will sort itself out, it may end up doing so on the backs of the least enfranchised.
