re: Why is Texas's COVID death rate almost 50% higher than California's?

Both states are around 40% Hispanic. Texas has 6% more AA's and California has 10% more Asians.

Can you provide a link? 2018 estimates show 18.9% Hispanic in CA and 32.1% in TX (not linking because you only need to google “Texas demographics”) Not really close to 40% there.

Additionally, the elevated Asian populace in CA helps their numbers. Asians are skinny and not diabetic. Peggy Hill and the cholos in TX are fat and probably would die from the flu. Comparing the two states is silly.
