Because White people represent the majority of the country. If you think other races are not wearing masks, you are clearly lying to yourself.

Because they're more likely to consume conservative media
https://bit.ly/2VrbwYE

In recent weeks, three studies have focused on conservative medias role in fostering confusion about the seriousness of the coronavirus. Taken together, they paint a picture of a media ecosystem that amplifies misinformation, entertains conspiracy theories and discourages audiences from taking concrete steps to protect themselves and others.

The end result, according to one of the studies, is that infection and mortality rates are higher in places where one pundit who initially downplayed the severity of the pandemic Fox News Sean Hannity reaches the largest audiences.

We are receiving an incredible number of studies and solid data showing that consuming far-right media and social media content was strongly associated with low concern about the virus at the onset of the pandemic, said Irene Pasquetto, chief editor of the Harvard Kennedy School Misinformation Review, which published one of the studies.

In April, Kathleen Hall Jamieson of the Annenberg Public Policy Center and Dolores Albarracin of the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign published a peer-reviewed study examining how Americans media diets affected their beliefs about the coronavirus.

Administering a nationally representative phone survey with 1,008 respondents, they found that people who got most of their information from mainstream print and broadcast outlets tended to have an accurate assessment of the severity of the pandemic and their risks of infection. But those who relied on conservative sources, such as Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, were more likely to believe in conspiracy theories or unfounded rumors, such as the belief that taking vitamin C could prevent infection, that the Chinese government had created the virus, and that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was exaggerating the pandemics threat to damage the Trump presidency.

These findings held even after controlling for viewers political affiliation, education, gender and age.

Why?

I noticed this too. Here are my theories:

1) not wearing a mask is mostly a trump supporter thing.
2) they heard that COVID kills mostly minorities
3) theyre entitled and pampered.

Well at first trump didnt want people to use masks because it would make him look bad (according to him). Then his media apparatus, which includes Fox News, began saying masks are for losers. Then things got worse but it was too late to turn around. Disinformation such as masks make you more sick and masks are the mark of the beast was already out

Because all the Trump supporters think Covid is a hoax until they catch it.

That's funny.

But yeah, something I've noticed as well. Pretty ridiculous and annoying. I also feel like it crosses political boundaries, as in it's not just Trumpers who refuse to wear them.
