WASHINGTON (AP) — African-Americans and Hispanics breathe in far more deadly air pollution than they are responsible for making, a new study said.
A study looked at who is exposed to fine particle pollution — responsible for about 100,000 American deaths a year — and how much different races are responsible for the pollution based on their buying, driving and living habits.
Scientists calculate that Hispanics on average breathe in 63 percent more of the pollution that leads to heart and breathing deaths than they make. For African-Americans the figure is 56 percent, according to a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
On the other hand, non-Hispanic whites on average are exposed to 17 percent less air pollution than they make.

Because we’re more industrious?
Obviously, Honkies are evil, and must be killed.
Now, the air is racist.
This almost tops the story about how self-driving cars are racist, too
This story is taking the “Minorities Hardest Hit” cliche to a new low.
This seems to be nonsense to me.
Even if, for sake of argument, we say that the research proves this conclusion, what exactly are we supposed to do with this information?
Should whites try to reduce their carbon footprint to get to where these minority groups are? Are we saying there is more air pollution where minority groups live, so they should be relocated to the countryside where there is less pollution?
The MSM, making up lies as they go...
WTF?
cities have pollution as a result of commerce, which fuels the city tax coffers which supports the poor. Cities were important at one time for the poor to receive services but services are more widespread and accessible nowadays. There’s really no reason for the poor to be clustered in large cities, unless they’re undocumented poor trying to blend in the masses. Or they have a thing for museums.
If I ever called Rush and got through my question would be ‘Rush, what are we going to do about these folks?”. They’re going to try and pick off white men one by one. If you even try to raise an objection in substance on social media you can lose your career. We’re going to have to fight back at some point.
Wow! Talk about #FakeScience
They throw the most trash in the street.
I love that song.
Me too,brings back some god memories;)
More media racism. The mass media just keeps trying to stir up more racist krap all the time.
Is there no low for the racial agitators? Every day they make up some new form of white privilege.
I like it for the music, how the verse starts out in a minor key which keeps things low until “all I need is the air that I breathe” takes the heart soaring. There is a similar phenomenon in “How great thou art,” with “then sings my soul.” Very uplifting.
Crank, Pot, coke.
