From the comments: > They also convince themselves that it is the interest of young Black Americans living with young kids in apartments. So they’re not only saving themselves, but saving others.

The problem with this take is that it's the opposite: Black and Hispanic Americans support lockdown measures more than Whites[1]. They are also more worried about being hospitalized due to COVID. This makes sense, as it's supported by the CDC's data[2]. It's unfortunate this has become a common misconception.
