Thank you for this. I’m and African-American conductor/activist/writer living in Germany. I’m experiences hyper-racial profiling due to my facial mask.

As a Black man, my face mask is intolerable for white Germans. From their looks of horror, I can tell they think I’m a thief. My health imposes on their freedom to racially profile me. I’m an asthmatic. This virus disproportionately affects Black people. One-third of all Coronavirus deaths in the US are African-Americans. Don’t I have a right to protect myself without harassment?
