      Those of us who write articles online, do YouTube and podcasts, etc. haven't had our livelihoods jeopardized all that much by coronavirus. If anything, there is MORE demand right now for what we produce. Which is why we must be extra empathetic with those whose lives are upended

      Were your tweets dismissing the idea of environmental racism -- done at a time when evidence is emerging that working class POC are disproportionately suffering -- examples of empathy?

      Yep it's empathy toward those who don't speak in the insular lingo of activist-brains like AOC.

      Would you recognize that the concept of environmental racism has validity, whatever objections you have to the lingo?

          I wouldn't use a meaningless jargon term like "environmental racism" to describe these phenomena:https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1246416193583546372 …

          Lol @ the people melting down over this tweet. “Environmental racism” is a meaningless term. If you want to contend that minorities are disproportionately harmed by poor environmental policy, use normal language to communicate that concept, rather than sloganeering activist-speak https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1246278826981801989 …

          Would you recognize that there is a direct correlation between the level of pollution in a society and the amount of non-white people in it, which is to say that the developing world – including your own ancestral homeland – is far more polluted than majority-white nations today?

          No. Whether policies (disproportionately) affect minorities is always subject to how you determine an effect and a cause. But beyond that pliable deficiency, "racism" imputes an intentionality that is most certainly a projection (wishful or not) of dishonest activists' own id.

          Or centuries of INTENTIONAL racially discriminatory laws targeted against minorities like "Whites only", redlining, black codes, gerrymandering, Jim Crow & segregation.

          Environmental racism is a divisive concept because it assumes that the motives for things not racist such as the environmental hazards are racist in nature as opposed to profit motive.

          How about you explain what the hell environmental racism is, and how it’s separate from the obvious fact that poor people will always get the shaft in any domain or issue?
