About the protests in Michigan and other states, are minorities protesting?

It looks like mostly it’s white people, some of them White Supremacist types. Isn’t it minorities who are being most negatively affected by the extreme lockdowns in states like Michigan? Jobs like landscaping, house painting, construction, etc. I don’t want anyone upset about me stereotyping, if you have statistics showing it is white people more impacted I’m very willing to listen.

I think most protestors are libertarian types, and their leaders (radio personalities, KKK leaders, anti-vaxxers to name a few) are working them up to a fevered pitch to be terrified.

I do think some governors went too far, and I think people should have their voice heard, but I completely disagree with these protests full of people creating risk to themselves and the community, and country for that matter.
