Disparities? In areas ruled by Democrats? Is there a correlation . . . ? Hmm . . .

The solution to pollution is IT’S RACIST!

[Army Air Corps]

Riiiiiight. Air pollution actively avoids honkies, but focuses on non-honkies. Sure. It is Smart Pollution.

[ctdonath2]

Move.
Nobody is stopping others from relocating to less polluted areas based on race.

Women and minorities hardest hit in the lib view. Always.

>>regardless of where they live or how much money they make.

So even Oprah Winfrey has it worse than other people?

[Red Badger]

Air is racist.........................

[Olog-hai]

Using government air pollution and census data, researchers found that disproportionate numbers of non-white people were exposed to potentially hazardous fine particle pollution from nearly all major U.S. emission sources, regardless of where they live or how much money they make.

So they’re actually saying that the fine-particle pollution actively seeks out the lungs of blacks, Hispanics and Asians and deliberately avoids whites?? Guess “Smart Pollution” must be the only conclusion, according to their research that is never wrong . . .

The authors of this glistening piece of crap are:

[Olog-hai]

And more of those cities are ruled by Democrats.

So much for their claim that it’s “regardless of where they live or how much money they make”.

More POCs live in cities.

Thank you, that is the obvious answer.

Democrats and the left have been herding the BIPOC population into big cities to consolidate their power base. It's the stupid herding into a small space that causes the problem. The finger needs to be pointed at the cause...Democrats and leftists. The left feels compelled to build large projects of government subsidized housing, then warehousing lots of the BIPOC community there as dependents of the government tit. Again, point the finger of blame squarely where it belongs...Democrats and the left.

Biden seems intent on bringing back the Obama practice of dropping turds in the punch bowl. He wants to put low income, Section 8 type housing in the middle of high end suburban communities. Biden conflates successful people living in nice homes with "whiteness" as if no BIPOC community member ever enjoys the fruits of success in the form of a nice home in a nice neighborhood.

Skin cancer is racist. Gingers impacted the most.

[yuleeyahoo]

Everything is racist

[Leaning Right]

> More POCs live in cities. <

Bingo. It really is that simple. So a fair title to this article would be: “City dwellers more exposed than other people to air pollution”.

But of course that title wouldn’t increase racial hatred. So it must not be used.

[DesertRhino]

Even if it’s true, I couldn’t care less. Get off your dead ass and move out to western Kansas if you want. Nobody stopping you.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Enough already.

[Mariner]

100% geography.

And inner cities have more particulate pollution, by far.

Only an idiot believes this has anything to do with race.

But, Dims are idiots.
