Decades of inbuilt discrimination fuelled coronavirus 's disproportionate impact on black , Asian and ethnic minority people , a review by Doreen Lawrence reveals today .
The Labour peer , whose son Stephen , 19 , was killed in a racist attack in South East London in 1993 , published a report highlighting structural inequalities within government , health , employment and the education system that Covid-19 `` thrived on '' as the outbreak took hold .
BAME people were overexposed to the virus by being overrepresented in industries where they can not work from home , such as on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ living in overcrowded housing .
Baroness Lawrence was commissioned to lead the review into how Covid-19 is affecting BAME communities by Labour leader Keir Starmer .
In the report 's foreword , the peer writes : `` Black , Asian and minority ethnic people have been overexposed , under-protected , stigmatised and overlooked during this pandemic – and this has been generations in the making .
`` The impact of Covid is not random , but foreseeable and inevitable , the consequence of decades of structural injustice , inequality and discrimination that blights @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the middle of an avoidable crisis – and this report is a rallying cry to break that clear and tragic pattern . ''
Unless immediate action is taken , more people will `` unnecessarily die '' , she warns , adding the pattern of injustice may continue beyond the pandemic .
Among her recommendations is a plea to the Government to remind employers they have a legal duty to record Covid-19 deaths caused by occupational exposure .
Mr Starmer said the study must be a `` turning point '' , promising the next @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Act to tackle structural racial inequality .
Baroness Lawrence said it was hoped that a previous Public Health England report would recommend action to reduce disparities , but that it failed to do so .

After they went into the living room, Martin is believed to have taken the infant from Ms Poole and stepped out onto the balcony.
But he returned seconds later, returning without the child and sending the mother into a panic.
“Poole ran outside and discovered her baby laying on the ground in the parking area,” the police report states.

“She ran down and picked her baby up, ran southbound through the complex because she thought Martin was chasing her.”
Police were called and a neighbour helped Poole to perform CPR on the badly-inured child who was rushed to hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
The girl's mother said to police that her partner has a history of "mental issues" and had not eaten or slept for days in the lead up to the tragedy, according to a report by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Last month, Poole posted a photo of her and Martin on her Facebook, cradling her baby bump as she holds hands with Martin.
Marti is due to appear at Las Vegas Justice Court on Tuesday for the initial court hearing.

Donald Trump hit out at Barack Obama after his predecessor issued a scathing rebuke of the incumbent President 's bungled coronavirus response , saying he had ruined the economy he inherited .
Speaking at an election rally in Orlando , the former US leader lashed out at his successor yesterday and urged Americans to turn out `` like never before '' to put his former Vice President Joe Biden in the White House .

`` He 's jealous of Covid 's media coverage , '' he said .

Obama 's visit to Florida - his second in four days - comes just as Trump also targets the Sunshine State .
As Obama spoke , the President criticised his predecessor 's social distanced and invite-only event in car park E at the Camping World Stadium .
It was in stark contrast to the free-for-all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ago where thousands stood side-by-side without masks .
`` Obama is drawing VERY small ( tiny ) numbers of people , '' he tweeted .

"Before the game, I’d decided already we have to share it - 45 and 45 – and all the rest would have been ridiculous.
“Hendo said at half-time, ‘No, boss, I can go on’ and then in these moments, you have to be strong to yourself because I didn’t want to lose him, actually.

Dad, 29, collapses after suffering heart attack and stroke in front of his five kids
A former solider and dad was told he was having a panic attack before suffering a massive heart attack and stroke, aged just 29.
Ashley Thomas was looking after his five children - including three-month-old daughter Piper - alone at his home in Co Down, Northern Ireland, when he suddenly collapsed on the kitchen floor.
The kids were terrified but too young to call for help and so the chef dragged himself into the living room and sat on the sofa until his partner Trece came home almost three hours later.
Ashley was rushed to Craigavon Area Hospital on Saturday evening, before being transferred for specialist care to the Royal Victoria Hospital, reports Belfast Live.
A scan revealed he had previously suffered a massive heart attack which had blown a hole in his heart, with the resultant blood clot then traveling to his brain - which needed surgery to be removed.
His mum Annette Dunn said her son had been suffering with pains down his arms and chest for three weeks and after calling a hospital was told it was likely a panic attack due to his age.
The 50-year-old barber said when Trece called to say Ashley may have had a stroke she "couldn't believe it", and admitted "we don't know what the future holds".
"Now Trece is left to look after the five young children with no idea if Ashley will ever get home," continued Annette, who was able to see her son once in hospital with visits severely restricted due to the pandemic.
"As his mum I have great faith and I’m praying for a miracle, but we are devastated, just terrified and hurt for him.
"I’ve never felt more sad in my life. My lovely big son, a former soldier, this doting dad to five children and his lovely partner, just lying there unable to move or talk."
Annette said she held Ashley's hand in hospital and told him she loves him but didn't tell him he'd had a stroke "because I couldn't bear to hear the words myself".
She and Trece have estimated he collapsed around 3pm while preparing to feed baby Piper.
He was paralysed down one side but using his good arm managed to get to the living room, with his partner traveling back from her sister's when he didn't answer her calls.
"When she got home she found him in a very bad way," continued Annette.
Eldest child Riley, eight, told Trece what had happened after twins Harper and Blake, four, shouted to him "Daddy's fallen on the floor" and found his dad lying there.
The only word Ashley could say was "Bobo" - meaning baby - and so Riley and Kimmy, six, fed Piper while their dad held her in his functioning arm.
Ashley had effectively lost his job as a chef due to the pandemic and had been working at McDonald's to make ends meet while trying to save money for Christmas.
With mum Annette not currently working due to the barbershop having also closed, she set up a GoFundMe page page to help the family get by.
"Our hearts are broken but we’re not giving up. I just pray that he gets better and makes a recovery to hold his children again and that I get to hold my son again," she said.
"And I’d like to say thanks to anyone who feels able to help us with prayers or donations. We’re going to need all the help we can get."
