Ohio state senator blames COVID-19 on 'colored' pop not washing hands
[JPost]-Ohio State Senator Stephen A. Huffman sparked outrage, blaming the African-American community's high COVID-19 rates on the "colored population" not washing hands, The New York Times reported Thursday.

According to The Times, Huffman was fired from his job as an emergency room physician following his highly controversial remarks. The Republican state senator represents the state's fifth senatorial district.
What's next: somebody claiming that in society with average IQ of 100, group with average IQ of 80 cannot be anything but "hewers of wood & carries of water"?

#2 "Could it just be that African-Americans or the colored population do not wash their hands as well as other groups or wear a mask or do not socially distance themselves?" he said at a Tuesday Senate Health Committee hearing. "Could that be the explanation of ... the higher incidence?" he added,

"fired from his job as an emergency room physician".....where he treated gunshot wounds and drug overdose cases.
