The Admiral posted...Even pollution is racist now. Just when I thought libs had blamed everything. The article mentions race for absolutely no reason other than to push left-wing victim agenda. The headline is really "cities experience more pollution than suburban and rural areas," which is common sense, and the racial component is purely coincidental beyond that. --- - The Admiral ...

'The new study refutes an argument that pollution impact disparities are driven primarily by economics that factories are located in low-income communities because land there is less expensive, Pastor of USC said.' It's actually the other way around: Low-income communities are located next to the factory, because land there is less expensive. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Past studies have shown that non-white people face higher pollution than white people even within urban areas, and even when controlling for income:
https://www.citylab.com/design/2014/04/people-color-are-disproportionately-killed-air-pollution/8881/ Income also plays a role in pollution exposure, but not as much as you might think. "Both race and income matter, but race matters more than income," says Julian Marshall, a professor of environmental engineering at the University of Minnesota. "And that's a really important point, because when you start talking about differences by race people say, 'Oh, that's just income.'" https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/isee/o-3-42-04/ For example, within individual urban areas, NO2 concentrations are, on average, ~8% higher for nonwhites than whites (after controlling for income) and ~5% higher for low-income than for high-income groups (after controlling for race). --- kin to all that throbs ...

alternatively, it could just be that poorer people tend to be in places with more pollution because it's also cheaper

The discrepancy is so great that even high-earning non-whites are sucking in relatively larger quantities of pollution. For a clear illustration of that, take a look at this graph showing (at top left) pollution/income differences for large urban areas. Notice how low-income whites are exposed to less pollution than even the highest-income blacks, Asians, and Hispanics: but i still don't want to throw out the alternate explanation as at least being another contributing factor --- ...
