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.

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?
