@RepBarbaraLee - Asian Americans too.... "Latinos, African-Americans, Asian-Americans and low-income communities are exposed to substantially more air pollution from cars, trucks and buses than other demographic groups in California." https://www.ucsusa.org/clean-vehicles/electric-vehicles/CA-air-quality-equity#.XFsEKFxKiUk … - Show replies

Cap and trade just sent the pollution to poorer, often minority neighborhoods like Vallejo.

This study sounds racist but it's not. just a note there are poor white people, just so you know! I work for social services and there are many many poor white people that breathe that ugly air you're talkin about as well. But, in the larger cities, inner cities minorities yes.
