it appears that inner city heat islands (no parks is what I call it) affect people of color more than white people.

Using government temperature and census data, researchers examined the distribution of heat islands – parts of cities with higher average temperatures than the surrounding areas. The study, published Tuesday in Nature Communications, found that during the summer of 2017 in nearly all large urban areas, the average non-white person lived in a census tract with higher heat island intensity.

Everything is racist but for actual racism carried out by progressives and POC, only granting interviews to black reporters and discriminating against people based on their skin color for purposes of college admissions isn't racism. Saying COVID might have originated in a lab in China. Now that's racist.

Senior Editor of every Wannabe NYT's equivalent: "Interesting facts. Now tie that to race somehow, and re-submit it for approval."

Sowell covers this topic. Basically argues that hotter climate areas were slowed in technology development as there was more overall natural food abundance. Temperate climates were forced to plan around calendar specific harvest dates, increase yields and forced to come up with storage techniques and reliance on trade for vital things they couldn’t grow or catch themselves.

A few years back it was the air conditioning that was racist. Now it’s the heat. What chance do minorities have.
