Should post rates of known comorbidities in these groups right along with this to see if there is correlation. You know, context.

Why? Do you suspect there is NOT correlation? We already know substantial differences exist in vaccination rates. Granted, a full blow analysis of variance would be interesting to see, but I know of no one collecting that data in real-time. And even if we had it, like the Moynihan Report, it might not fit the political expectations and be ignored.

There is no such thing as race. The homo sapiens has no subspecies.

While I would agree with you, that’s how the CDC chose to title the graph…

"As of August 2, 2021, CDC reported that race/ethnicity was known for 58% of people who had received at least one dose of the vaccine. Among this group, nearly two thirds were White (59%), 10% were Black, 16% were Hispanic, 6% were Asian, 1% were American Indian or Alaska Native, and <1% were Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, while 8% reported multiple or other race."

Do you see any correlation between your chart and the info above? The vaccine is widely available and free.

You might consider the diversity in various sports at the Olympics. Of course, there’s differences.
