Why is it that everytime there's a new virus, Black people are always the ones that seem to be suceptible to it?

HIV, Covid, etc. The news reports that theyre always more prone to it...how?

Maybe the history of their hereditary immune exposure?
Dark skinned ethicities have very strong immune systems but, for a different environment.
European viruses are relatively new to their biology....a hundred or so years, maybe 2 at the most. Thats only four generations max of immunological learning to these viruses and bacteria.
Same reason why the Aztecs got wiped out by smallpox.
