Why Y’all Start COVID

Text on the meme

Why ya’ll start covid? Why you single mom?

What it means

A split-panel cartoon shows a group of Black women asking why people started COVID, contrasted with a group of East Asian-looking characters asking why someone is a single mom. The joke relies on absurd, stereotype-based group comparisons and is used as an ironic reaction to questions about blame or personal circumstances.
