オレゴン州の郡がマスク着用義務から非白人を除外。マスクを着用することで人種的な嫌がらせを受ける恐れがあるからだそうです。https://t.co/dpQHEnK7pe

Health officials announced last week residents must wear face coverings in public settings where they may come within six feet of another individual who is not from the same household.

But people of color do not have to follow the new rule if they have “heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment” over wearing the masks, officials said.

“For many black people, deciding whether or not to wear a bandanna in public to protect themselves and others from contracting coronavirus is a lose-lose situation that can result in life-threatening consequences either way,” ReNika Moore, director of the ACLU’s Racial Justice Program, told CNN.

Trevon Logan, who is black, said orders to wear face coverings are “basically telling people to look dangerous given racial stereotypes that are out there.

黒人がバンダナを口のまわりにつけると、強盗か何かと間違えられる場合があるかららしい。
