EAST PALESTINE, OH — Residents of a small Ohio town have been forced to evacuate after a deadly spill of vinyl chloride and butyl acrylate chemicals from a train derailment caught fire and destroyed surrounding farmland, waterways, and livestock. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was quick to respond, promising to investigate the tragedy for signs of racism.
"First of all, I want to reassure the citizens of East Palestine that I am still very gay," said the Transportation Secretary. "Also, I will do everything in my power to uncover the possible racist source of this deadly environmental disaster. Yes, East Palestine is a small Ohio Town full of white people, but we need to know how this may affect BIPOCS. I will leave no stone unturned."

Someone should get Pete to act on it by telling him the train was carrying his order of KY.
Then he'd get to the bottom of it.

I feel for the folks behind the Onion or Babylon Bee.
Satire must be hard when reality is bizzare.

You can bet Peter boy will find tons of “homogenized” phobia.

Pete Bootiejudge has been a busy little beaver when it comes to this chemical spill. Why, right now at this very moment he is conferring with President Biden...

Determine what color the rail cars were. What color is the smoke emenating from the fire?

I know it’s supposed to be satire, but it is a completely believable headline.
In fact, I submit that it is prescient.

Chemical train tankers are very racist; they are painted black.
