Followed by a chart showing a 65% white, 13% hispanic, 13% black breakdown for the vaccine hesitant.
Given the actual racial breakdown of the states is something like 60%, 18%, 13% etc., does it really make sense to call the vaccine hesitant "overwhelmingly white"? Reads to me like an article which tells people exactly what they want to hear.
You’re right, that line is technically correct but very misleading. There appears to only be a very slight racial bias among the “definitely not” crowd.
As opposed, for example, to the party affiliation skew which looks quite pronounced.
