种族主义作为种族不平等的缔造者，塑造了社区的脆弱性。与资源丰富的社区相比，社会弱势社区应对自然灾害和人为灾害并从中恢复的能力较差。本文认为，种族主义暴露了公共行政中的做法和结构，沿着COVID-19的影响，导致黑人的感染率和死亡率不成比例。作者利用疾病控制和预防中心的社会脆弱性指数，分析了黑人占据最脆弱社区的方式，使他们首当其冲地受到COVID-19的影响。研究结果表明，现有的差距加剧了黑人的COVID-19结果。有针对性的普遍性是作为一个行政框架提供的，以满足所有受COVID-19影响的人的需求。
As the architect of racial disparity, racism shapes the vulnerability of communities. Socially vulnerable communities are less resilient in their ability to respond to and recover from natural and human-made disasters compared with resourced communities. This essay argues that racism exposes practices and structures in public administration that, along with the effects of COVID-19, have led to disproportionate infection and death rates of Black people. Using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Social Vulnerability Index, the authors analyze the ways Black bodies occupy the most vulnerable communities, making them bear the brunt of COVID-19's impact. The findings suggest that existing disparities exacerbate COVID-19 outcomes for Black people. Targeted universalism is offered as an administrative framework to meet the needs of all people impacted by COVID-19.
