The purpose of this paper is to address the discourse created about ethnic minorities during the ongoing covid-19 pandemic in the public health care system, which continues to be constructed by the government, politicians and the media. The states effort to contain the infection rates only exacerbated the stigmatisation and discrimination which ethnic minorites faced, this can be traced back to colonial practices and the creation of colonial medicine, these biasis have become systemic and hinder the development of a equitable public health care system. To analyze the discourse the empirical data consists of written documentation, which according to Lynggaard may be all written documents, including secondary material even though their intended audience isn’t the public. This discourse will primarily be analyzed with a social constructivist approach as defined by Wenneberg, which allows for a critical investigation of the different aspects that influence citizens' lives and how their agency is affected within a governmental system. This approach is supported by Pedersens emphasis on the researcher's role in constructing knowledge, which allows for a critical approach to the underlying reasoning for the construct. The theoretical framework utilizes colonial medicine to address why ethnic minorities experience systemic disparity, through the lack of understanding which is simplified and portrayed as contingent on personal behavior. To critically investigate how this image of ethnic minorities is constructed in the discourse, the theoretical framework social determinants allows for an investigation of personal to larger socio-economic systems, which affect the individual's life which the state overlooks in favor of cultural reasoning. This creates a clear pattern of discrimination in the discourse and treatment which has survived from its colonial past, effectively the state is only capable of offering a public solution designed for its majority population which overlooks the needs of its minority citizens.
