Non-whites do not need to show they personally are at risk for severe illness to be eligible for treament, it is presumed from their racial and ethnic status. Whites need proof, a clearly discriminatory standard.

Based on these guidelines, non-whites do not need to show they personally are at risk for severe illness, it is presumed from their racial and ethnic status. Whites need proof, a clearly discriminatory standard.
Such brazen discrimination against white Americans based on vague, sweeping claims of “systemic” “inequities” was rejected by several federal courts earlier this year when they considered the Biden Administration’s race-based pandemic relief programs. In those cases, the courts “rejected systemic racial discrimination as a compelling state interest to support race-based legislation.”
Commentary:
This should be an incredibly interesting case study when the eventual litigation is resolved. When people choose to demonstrate very publicly in their actions that they wish to prioritize race or ethnicity and demand those concepts be injected into decision making to choose winners and losers we should make sure to label them correctly as racist.
When the PM/SA Left abandons the restraints the rule of law, they provide the calculus changes dramatically. No doubt many of these Commies would like to impose their will and punish their opponents and reward their friends; they already do so in many spheres under their ideological yoke. Some would willingly employ the armed apparatus of the state against its citizens who dissent.
It's a wonder that this edict of the state has not yet been enjoined within hours of publication.
If another state, say for example a state in South, adopted a policy prohibiting black people from attending public school, how long would it take for a judge to put a stop to it?
If this Governor's edict is allowed to stand and government were to run all health care, think of the power Progressive Marxist/DSA DEmocrats will have to achieve their call for “Equity”.
