I refuse to believe that you have no idea what environmental racism is.

Yeah, already had my comment deleted for "Covid denial." If some blue/pink hair wants to ban me so be it.

Is this website a caricature of itself or are you just ignorant and triggered by the word racism?

Edit: what you doing here New Hampshire?

Look up what environmental racism is if you aren’t familiar and come back and tell me if you think that’s what they’re talking about.

Wasn’t clear from his initial comment. His follow up comment seems to be talking about that. But then again I didn’t think “environmental racism” involved intentionality—his comment was that the city has intentionally tried to make poor people suffer these harms.

The intentional part is the literal decades of de facto and de jure racism. The environmental repercussions are a side effect.

Yeah that’s not how I read his initial comment, which was saying that the city intends to harm these communities.

The OP said that having vulnerable groups suffer the most in events like this is the intention of the city.

Another way to say it would be: the fact that the most vulnerable groups have worse cases of COVID isn’t a bug, it’s a feature of a system built on inequality.

Right. He said that the city intends to have vulnerable groups suffer the most. That’s what I said.
