i recently re-read how to be an anti-racist and one of the first great points that book makes is about discrimination.
there are negative and positive discriminatory actions, and the example given for positive discrimination is a life-saving vaccine given first to populations most at risk, such as the elderly and infirm, or healthcare workers. affirmative action is an example of a positive discrimatory practice, used to rectify the long-studied and well-understood racial inequities that do exist and are real.

Yea I guess if we want to use whataboutism we can say that hospitals triages based on health risks are a form of positive discrimination too
Whatever helps us feel better about the good kind of racism
