The BAME thing is a bit tricky
The Royal College of psychiatrists has said that disproportionately high death rates due to health factors, demographics, gender etc only partially explains higher death rates and has suggested possible exacerbation of racial inequalities documented in official NHS WRES data 2019. But a lot of it is more conjecture than anything.
BMA have taken potential discrimination being a factor with an ITV survey of over 2000 BAME workers which admittedly I haven't read all about. There were suggestions that managers are pushing them towards higher risk roles during the pandemic

I say its a tricky subject because of lived experience, accusations of political correctness but I have a lot BAME colleagues in various capacities in the NHS and care sectors and I've not personally dismissed racism as being a significant problem in the NHS but its a complicated topic that I don't actually think will be possible to be objective about due to lack of evidence-base as its primarily qualitative etc.
Mind you I haven't heard a lot of solid aetiological or pathophysiological science explaining death discrepancy other than "I'm sure there's a scientific or genetic cause" that isn't along the simplistic line of brown people are more diabetic and black people are more hypertensive and that leads to covid badness, probably.
