The very air you breathe is racist

The air that Americans breathe isn't equal.

Blacks and Hispanics disproportionately breathe air that's been polluted by non-Hispanic whites, according to a study. This new research quantifies for the first time the racial gap between who causes air pollution – and who breathes it.

"Pollution is disproportionately caused by whites, but disproportionately inhaled by black and Hispanic minorities," the study said.

Poor air quality remains the largest environmental health risk in the United States, the study warns. In fact, with 100,000 deaths per year, more Americans die from air pollution than car crashes and murders combined.

“Even though minorities are contributing less to the overall problem of air pollution, they are affected by it more,” said study co-author Jason Hill, an engineering professor at the University of Minnesota, who is white. “Is it fair (that) I create more pollution and somebody else is disproportionately affected by it?”

Hill said that while the air in the U.S. has gotten cleaner in the past decade, pollution inequity has remained stubbornly high.

    Any bets on if they factored in that whites are more likely to own electric vehicles and hybrids and have solar panels on their homes or did they simply look at consumption numbers and conclude that whites produce more pollution?

    Btw, I know that when I drive through poor minority areas, there is a hell of lot more garbage and pollution in those areas. Can we use that to make any similar observations about the amount of "pollution" being generated by minority groups?

    Race seems like a pointless diversion unless you are going to argue that prosperous whites consume more than prosperous non-whites. I don't see that argument being made or that measurement being taken.

    So people with money consume more and don't choose to live in places that have dirtier air. No duh!

    The base cause is colonialism and years of oppression.

    I’m sure this will all be covered in hhusky’s re-education class.

    For now, you just fall in line, k?

    And yet all of that superior education didn't stop him from swallowing like a bitch and claiming that Trademark never hit Zimmerman and that Mike Brown was shot in the back while running away.
