On average across the United States, white people, Hispanic or Latino people, and Black people comprise 61.1%, 17.8%, and 12.3% of the population. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) weekly COVID-19 data release, white people have accounted for 52.7%, Hispanic or Latinos 17.2%, and Black or African Americans 22.3% of COVID-19 deaths in the United States.

There's only a listing for 3 races. Whites are somewhat under, Latinos (or Latinex, as the media keeps trying to call them -- although actual Latinos often don't even know what the fuck that is) are just under a proportionate effect, and blacks are disproportionately affected.
