Racism is a lie. To believe in racism, you have to be able to believe in a lie that persists in the face of incontrovertible evidence.
If you're a Fox News watcher, you might have self-selected for both gullibility and unshakable acceptance of racism. You've trained yourself for this! You are now a Fact Resistant American!
So when Fox told you that Covid is a hoax to make Trump look bad, you believed it. And the lie got in deep.
