County with .6% black citizens
This may be the strangest virus regulation I've ever seen. Whites must wear masks, but not blacks, to prevent racial profiling? Doesn't this mean you can spot the blacks easier and thus profile? https://nypost.com/2020/06/23/oregon-county-issues-face-mask-order-exempting-non-white-people/
Like millions of other people, I then googled Lincoln County, Oregon, and see it has a population under 50,000 and is about .6% black. Well, some counties need more publicity than others, and other than being a laughing stock, I suppose this did it. So then I looked at crime rates in Oregon and discovered some very small towns had violent crime rates higher than the national average. Perhaps this is an backassward method of crime control?
