I've thought for a long time that racial prejudice is based solely on appearance (color of skin) because it is so easy to see an obvious difference and racists are stupid, using their reptilian brain and nothing else. Now that smart and compassionate people are wearing masks, it is another visible, and therefore, another easy way for racists to target someone they see as 'other'. I am not minimizing racism, and always hope that someday we will be able to find a way to lift up people who are not thinking with discerment.

"A Mask is Not a Political Statement. It's an IQ Test"
