With NY and it's strict vax pass push, POC would be kept form attending events and establishments that others could, correct? Segregation that targets POC in this case seems kinda racist doesn't it?

No. And nobody said anything about vax pass. Not interested in your concern trolling. 

I'm not sure why asking serious questions to numberwang here was a problem. If concern for your fellow man is trolling then I find that quite concerning, especially considering how many here seem concerned for others at this time, and rightly so. I for one take everyone's claims as genuine, unless they obviously or eventually give me enough reason to believe otherwise. That's just me though. Everyone see's the world differently.
