Chinese Virus wipes out 90% of African American skiing population

Wall Street Journal
On a Sunday afternoon in the resort community of Ketchum, Idaho, more than 600 African-American skiers paraded into the town square, dancing to Tom Browne’s “Funkin’ For Jamaica.” A DJ shouted the names of dozens of black ski clubs, each sporting matching parkas to signify the different cities from which they hailed.
But as the annual gathering of the National Brotherhood of Skiers kicked off on March 1, few realized that 650 miles away, the country’s first reported death from the new coronavirus had just occurred near Seattle.
More than 100 skiers who traveled to celebrate together would ultimately fall ill, likely carrying the virus to their homes around the country

Math is racist.
I guess the “more than 100” referred to could actually be 540?

It's so weird that they felt the need to form "black" skier groups.
