Look, if someone is black and at higher risk due to diabetes or another medical condition, by all means, they can get in line in front of me.
But for an order to be racist, IMO, is wrong and should be illegal. We're starting to see more and more things going to people based on color.
And if you "identify" as black? So Rachel Dolezal and ilk? If you're part of a native American tribe? And then these 2:
“English language learners and people in immigrant/refugee communities,”
In other words, illegals??

Vermont Gov. Scott: Those Who Identify as ‘Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color’ Eligible to Sign Up for Vaccine
Vermont Gov. Phil Scott (R) announced on Thursday those who identify as black, indigenous, or a “person of color” can now sign up to receive the coronavirus vaccine. Eligibility for all adults is not expected to open up until later this month.
“If you or anyone in your household identifies as Black, Indigenous, or a person of color (BIPOC), including anyone with Abenaki or other First Nations heritage, all household members who are 16 years or older can sign up to get a vaccine!” the governor announced, providing a link to the state’s website:

Only certain categories of people are now eligible to sign up to receive the coronavirus vaccine in the Green Mountain State. That includes those 50 and older, people 16 and older who have “high risk” health conditions, parents or primary caregivers of those with “high risk” health conditions, school staff, and child care workers, public safety workers, health care personnel, nursing home residents, “English language learners and people in immigrant/refugee communities,” and now “Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC),” per the state.
It remains unclear how the state is implementing the rule, as anyone could, technically, “identify” as whatever race they choose.
His announcement drew significant backlash on social media.
“I have a dream that our children will one day live in a nation where they will receive medical treatment according to the color of their skin, providing the governor has already had his,” one user said.
Some Twitter users quoted the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Others commented directly on the legality of the Governor’s statement:
