Ah, the old "I know it's a medical condition when I see it" policy that we've come to rely on police to assess.
Black people don’t have respiratory issues, so every mask is an attempted murder. Better shoot on sight.

The sad thing is that I would not even be a little surprised if they tried to claim something maybe only slightly less broadly than that non-sarcastically.
There’s a longstanding thing in medicine that black people don’t feel as much pain as white people. It was never true, but for some reason it was believed for a long time.
Things like that are slowly changing, and dark-skin-color prosthetics and textbooks showing e.g. symptoms that present differently on dark skin as light skin, or testing drugs on women instead of only on men and assuming the women probably react like smaller men, etc etc. But a really surprising amount of it has survived even into the modern day.
The pain sensitivity thing is the tip of the iceberg. Look at the shit they were saying about black people either being immune to or much less likely to contract COVID: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8530468/
Their fucking racism will get their own race killed just as much as the race they hate.
It’s just common sense science. The black was made as the worker, so naturally they would have more physical immunity.

You have no idea how close you come to the truth of how many people unfortunately think, including many medical professionals: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/medical-myths-that-hurt-black-people
