The report I read said that Asians had lowest death rate, then white, then Bangladeshi/Pakistan, then black, then mixed race, then other ethnic minorities ( Who is left?).

Probably because the vast majority of COVID deaths are the very old and / or with serious health conditions

Developing countries have much younger populations, especially in Africa after the carnage of AIDS

If the young age of African nations is a protective factor then it adds more weight to the western diabetogenic lifestyle leading to higher rates of co-morbidities in BAME people in the uk and consequently higher covid19 complications
