It's not sickle-cell itself, but rather being a heterozygous carrier of the disease. People with one dominant and one recessive allele for the disease are immune to malaria without the crippling effects of having sickle-cell anemia. I don't think that it can even represent codominance, though.
Sickle cell disease is an example of codominance, not heterozygous dominance. In individuals who are heterozygous for the sickle cell allele, they exhibit a milder form of the disease called sickle cell trait, which demonstrates codominance of the normal and mutant hemoglobin alleles.
This is called codominance. In codominance, both alleles are fully expressed in the phenotype of the individual.

Incomplete Dominance and Codominance.
Codominance
African American and Hispanic are greatly affect by sicklecell.
No
Yes Tay Sachs disease is a disease of codominance. If you have one defective form of the Hex-A gene, you will be able to function normally and will not have the disease. This is because you still create enough of the enzyme to function normally but it is only being produced at 50% the rate of someone with two normal Hex-A genes.

Yes, sickle cell anemia is an example of codominance in genetics.
codominance
The opposite of codominance would be ordinary dominance (the expression of a dominant gene over a recessive one).
Incomplete Dominance and Codominance.
The difference between dominant and codominance is power, influence and importance which defines the word dominant. Codominance is an allele gene individuals receive by both parents which is two versions of a gene in relationship to each other.
