Isabel Wilkerson writes : “The virus exposed both the vulnerability of all humans and the layers of hierarchy,” “While anyone could contract the virus, it was Asian-Americans who were scapegoated for it merely because they looked like the people from the part of the world that the virus first struck. And as the crisis wore on, it was African-Americans and Latinos who began dying at higher rates. Preexisting conditions, often tied to the stresses on marginalized people, contributed to the divergence. But it was the caste-like occupations at the bottom of the hierarchy— grocery clerks, bus drivers, package deliverers, sanitation workers, low-paying jobs with high levels of public contact— that put them at greater risk of contracting the virus in the first place. These are among the mudsill jobs in a pandemic, the jobs less likely to guarantee health coverage or sick days but that sustain the rest of society, allowing others to shelter in place”
