Aside from obvious economic disparity shit, there are plenty of Latinos out here who are of the mind that “that shit is just a cold lmao” so I’m most definitely not surprised

Latino here, can confirm. Most of the older Latinos I know didn’t believe in covid until they got sick, over year into it. They’re also super religious so it tracks lol

And yet, as a group, Latinos have a much higher vaccination rate than White and Black folks in the city. The data points to them taking prevention and mitigation more seriously than most other people.

How do they even break out Latinos as a group given that there’s plenty of black and white Latinos?

Latino refers to being of Latin American heritage, not skin color

Latinos overwhelmingly do not like the term. Not your place to police people on that. Folks has always been a gender neutral term, not really sure what’s the point of using folks vs folx other then for aesthetic reasons.
